Can someone translate?

I do hope chelsea (dumb) and johhny (dumber) get to read this

Maybe they're being ironic, unless all their posts are like that.

But I know two or three smart people who send "text message" emails like ticker tape headlines, all lowercase and no punctuation.

I don't mind a little txt spk. As long as it is in an actual text/tweet. I don't like it when people try to insert it into e-mails or other media, where it just renders the message unreadable for no discernable reason.

It seems we can't anymore

Maybe UML aficionados should start using Smileys instead of stick men?

Requirement: "Users must be able to log in without difficulty using a secure password"

UML:

-> NO

-> YES

Can someone please translate so I can see if they are just a dumbass or they have had a stroke.

Can anyone do any worse?

If you'd put a little stick drawing of an 'actor' that resembled a character from XKCD holding its sides instead of the above, I'd have deduced that you were a BA that was into UML spk.

Why have you facebooked someone who has failed at life so badly they have to get the bus to flamingo world?

Why else, to make me feel smug and superior!?

You're quite a laugh aren't you

It is pretty illegible, but to be fair I've had some requirements from "Business Analysts" that were even less clear than that.

Of course, BAs use un-annotated UML instead of txt spk, but they're just as terse, ambiguous and unfathomable.

Long version:

"I'm currently on route to Flamingo Land. I'm so excited over the prospect, that I think I might develop stress incontinence! Seriously, I'm finding it difficult to believe I've ended up in a situation where I'm obliged to sit on this bus for two hours with Michelle (who is dumb) and Johnny (who is dumber). I shall opt to wear my headphones thoughout the entire jaunt. Felicitations and love to you and your entire family.".

Short version:

"I am a complete and utter pillock".

Just showing that he's down wit da yoot.

And refusing to acknowledge that he's becoming an old fart.

I like things like this. It makes me feel safe and employable till I get really old (Not that I plan to work that long). How could people who cant even manage basic communication ever hope to compete with me?

On the flip side, theres going to be a lot of useless eaters that the rest of us have to pay tax for to keep alive.
