Recap: You have to wonder

Sometimes mail can say very strange things, such as the sentence that went somewhere along the lines of "if you've been unexpected terminated". I suppose, then, that the insurance will not cover expected termination?

Euphemism. The mark of higher society as well as bureaucracy. The wonderful, wonderful ways you can take to say whatever you want without actually saying it. Central cause of paranoia and the proof of the power of words. Dumbledore would've agreed with me: You Know Who sounds much more intimidating than just Voldemort, and a word has no power except what people grant it.

We've given a lot of words more power than they should've have.

Random, but continuous hours of staring at notes does get to one's (already questionable) sanity.

Know what else's interesting? Lactose-free milk. It's like selling citric-acid ( ~ vitaminc c) -free oranges. And no, those do not currently exist (yet), to my knowledge.
