I get an email from by boss, and he describes a “work around soul ion”. I’m looking at his latest abortion of an attempt to write readable English for maybe five minutes before I finally realize he actually means “work around solution”.
For the love of fuck, LEARN DECENT ENGLISH. You work in the US, you have native-born English speaking North Americans working for you, LEARN THE MOTHERFUCKING LANGUAGE.
It’s bad enough they transferred me from my great job to this shit job working for your dumb ass, but having to pull out my Imbecile-To-English dictionary every time I have to try to make sense of these electronic anal-dribblings you call communications is adding injury to insult. I’ve worked with many, many people over the years who speak English as a second language, and I’ve very rarely had any trouble understanding any of them. And even those who speak poor English always managed to write a decent memo. You are the first one I’ve ever seen who’s written communication is actually WORSE than his spoken. But it’s clear that your nearly unbelievable stupidity is the cause of your language difficulties, and simply going from spoken to written word isn’t enough to shatter through your unbelievable denseness. Who the fuck did you felch to get your dumb ass promoted to management?
Oh, and I’m REALLY looking forward to you asking me to work weekends, like I know you will any day soon. My answer will be “Fuck no. When the company puts me on a job of MY choice, then I’ll CONSIDER giving up my personal time. As it is, I can barely keep my ass here 40 hours a week without hard liquor being involved.”
Suck unwiped hairy Osama ass, you sack of pus from an erupted zit on Hitler’s cock. I am PRAYING from the wonderful day when I find another job, and burn this bridge down to it’s component atoms by telling you exactly what I think of you and the other fuckheads in your group.
Awww. I was anticipating a thread in which you complained about the latest buzz word- soul ion, and your boss’s insistence upon using it to describe you and your attitude in the workplace. Wicked paradigm, man.
But yeah, that sucks, people should learn to spell, or to use spell check. God I hope I haven’t made any obvious typos…
There’s a good chance the guy is already familiar with spell checker. In fact, in many case people are too reliant on it.
Out of curiousity, I just ran “solu tion” through spell checker in Word (under the pretense that the only mistake was an accidental word space).
“Solu” was changed to “Soul” and “tion” was changed to “ion”
My point being: just because people have spell checker and know how to click buttons, doesn’t mean their documents are going to be any better. People need to be trained on how to actually read the errors spell checker points out. And then… god forbid… they need to make intelligent decsions on what to do with the list of options spell checker provides.
Oh, and don’t forget about the classic “from”/“form” typos that spell checker can never catch.
Just so you know, a soul ion ain’t a negatively charged spirit. It’s all about the positivity. You can’t get down if you are down, ya dig? The smooth molecule needs to keep the spirits positive if it’s going to make sweet lovin to it’s little lady molecule all night long. Free your mind and your ass…and the ass…will follow. The boys from Motown know what I’m talking 'bout. Oh yeeaahh.
Wow. I was just thinking about starting a thread about this exact same subject. One of the departmental managers at my office is horrid about this. She sent out an e-mail last week to the entire building asking “everone to keep an eye out for a miss placed study we think sticking to a nother report.” And no, she’s not foreign. What’s worse is that she’s in charge of helping the techs decide on what wording to use when correcting reports. :eek: As a reviewer, if I see one more case of glaring subject-verb disagreement or five tenses within two sentences I am going to personally march myself back to her office and force a style-guide up her ass.
Actually, for some reason when I wrote the title I was thinking that ion = negatively charged particle, exclusively. Of course, ion simply means charged, negatively or positively. Guess I was in a slightly negative mood when I wrote the OP.
