Barking mad

A gem from our R&D department (aka software development), emailed to me during a debate over whether the correct word is “preventative” or “preventive”.

If you really believe the terminology must change I believe you must spend a bit more time and get the approval from a University or some other authorised party that we will change the package name in contrary with other similar products in the market.

And people wonder why I struggle to retain my sanity at work.

    Do I count as an authorized party? If so:

    Dear R&D,
    As an Authorised (read: authorised) Party (read: party), I hereby declare that Stu is 100% correct, 84.7% of the time. I would imagine, judging by your inability to use a comma, that he is generally more correct than you.

    Kind regards,

    Bungalow J. Wombat, Esq.

    Hahaha, “some other authorised party” do they mean a house party?
    I’m guessing “a bit more time” would mean an entire Saturday night then…
