...I have permission from the boss to reproduce one sentence from this guy's e-mail.

We work with a lot of overseas people, and I generally don't harbor any ill will when I see how badly they're mangling the English language. But, I tells ya... it's a leap to know what the hell this guy is trying to say:

"If communicate meeting atmosphere went yesterday briefly, my boss and design team officials are suspending expectation to project to apply sooner or later."

:confused:

Maybe he means he only wants the meeting to be longer than yesterday?

That would go on our wall of shame at work.

The wall of shame evolved into a book of shame. Now it's a file of shame that lives on our server.

I edit a lot of reports that are written by non-English speaking authors.

I wonder if your guy used an auto-translator.

Just take every 3rd word.

Looks like in the meeting yesterday, the bosses decided to suspend the project sooner than expected.

It's obvious. The guy thinks you're a total hottie, and wants to do you.

That's what I was going to say.

It's one of our Korean kustomers, so an auto-translator's not out of the question.

the scary thing is that sounds like an email that my boss would send...when she works from home we all laugh as she sends emails that none of us can understand...
