A quick definition of existent corner:

An existent corner is a point where two boundary lines meet and can be verified by original landmarks or reliable evidence. It is different from a lost corner, which cannot be determined from the original marks, and an obliterated corner, which can only be located with evidence other than that put in place by the original surveyor. In another context, a corner can also refer to the acquisition of control over a commodity with the purpose of artificially enhancing the price, which can be illegal if done through unlawful means.

A more thorough explanation:

An existent corner is a corner whose location can be verified by an original landmark, a surveyor's field notes, or other reliable evidence. It is the common end of two survey lines and an angle made by two boundary lines.

For example, if a land surveyor uses a tree as a landmark to mark the corner of a property, and the tree is still standing and can be identified, then that corner is an existent corner. The location of the corner can be verified by the tree, which is the original landmark.

On the other hand, a lost corner is a point in a land description, such as a landmark or natural object, whose position cannot be reasonably determined from traces of the original marks or other acceptable evidence. An obliterated corner is a corner that can be located only with evidence other than that put in place by the original surveyor.

Another meaning of corner is the acquisition of control over all or a dominant quantity of a commodity with the purpose of artificially enhancing the price, carried out by purchases and sales of the commodity. This is done in a way that depresses the market price so that the participants are enabled to purchase the commodity at satisfactory prices and withhold it from the market for a time, thereby inflating its price.

For example, if a group of investors buys up all the coffee beans in the market with the intention of driving up the price, they are creating a corner in the coffee market. This is illegal if the means are unlawful.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
