- people often ask me how to effectively use our
- native tongue to communicate important ideas in email
- and I thought I would share a piece of useful email
- inregards to clarifying the generated data for a
- network availability graph.
-
- Notice how a Meaningless string of Technical Jargon has been effectively
- translated into the ProperPresentationForm to be promulgated
- in the Appropriate Mangement Information Distribution Mechanism.

- {as a matter of privacy I have deleted specific names,
- as well as gender_based_pronouns. As This does come from
- actual interoffice email. }

- [[8>After spending all afternoon in <person>'s <typeof> code, I have fixed the
- [[8>problem which was causing the availabilities to show up as 82% instead
- [[8>of 100%. The data from 1300 <DDMM1> through 1700 <DDMM2> (today) will
- [[8>be corrupted. I think I will murder <person> for <hir> part in all of this,
- [[8>but don't let it get around...

- [[bottom line:
- [[
- [["'a system enhancement to the network monitoring tools'
- [[facilitated a non_positively interpretable variance in the
- [[apparent network availabilty data, as can not, at this point,
- [[be eliminated from the currently gathered data, but does not
- [[provide an operable truth within the present understanding of the
- [[context of the actual situation when viewed pro_actively."

- [[Or did I miss something?
