Meaning

Primary

Complaint

Word Type

noun

Explanation

A paragraph in writing is what you send someone when you want to submit a complaint. You want to make sure these are in writing, though, otherwise you don't have proof of your complaint. Also, don't make it longer than a paragraph, because that's too long and nobody cares about how you think the shop staff mistreated your dog Fluffy.
