Answer 3

Almost completely obsolete now, dictation is the process of writing, usually in shorthand, a spoken passage, usually a letter, by a secretary from her boss.

The advent of email has almost eliminated the process, since bosses are now expected to create and send their own correspondence themselves.

I'd venture to say it would be almost impossible to find a secretary or PA who would respond to her boss if he said; 'Miss Jones, come in here and take a letter'

dictatoin is when somebody takes over everything and doesnt let anyone else have a say..
