    Meaning/have a litter
    Message from ora1 posted on 26-02-2012 at 07:32:55 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    I have no clue of what this is supposed to be.
    What is the meaning of it please?

    ---> In Italy and Mexico, all university graduates have a litter, and they usually expect you to use it.
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much for your help on corrections.

    I know the meaning of "litter" but in this sentence doesn't make any sense to me. Does it has anything to do with culture or some sort?

    Hello,
    The only time that I have ever heard the construction "have a litter" is when talking about an animal having given birth. "My dog has just had a litter of puppies."
    I have no idea what it wishes to say here, do you have any context?

    My humble guess is it should read "letter" instead of "litter".
    If this is the site where you found this sentence: Link

    ... it was perhaps not written by a native speaker. And judging by the rest of the paragraph ("Don't forget to call a lawyer or a graduate dottore in Italy, and in Mexico, call him licenciado."), "letter" means "title" here.
