  • lack of punctuation, making a whole paragraph just a set of random words with no meaning
Actually, thats just like most of the briefings at work - the individual words are all valid, but when strung together, have no meaning.  But keeps us amused playing wank word bingo :y

There used to be a "bumf" generator on the Vax systems I worked on years ago.  You could put in a few words and get a page out.  Very often it made as much sense as the specifications we used to get. :(
