    vocabulary GENIUS !



    The person who made this sentence must be a vocabulary GENIUS. Read the sentence below carefully:

    "I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes
    intercommunications' incomprehensibleness".

    This is a sentence where the nth word is n letters long Eg: 3rd word is 3 letters long, 8th word is 8 ,15th word is 15 letters long and so on

    Judging from the context, he/she is probably working at the Council of Europe in Brussels

    It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious...

    Don't ever underestimate the power of stupid people when they are in large groups.

    Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
    No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.

    Some good stuff here.

    The Plain English Campaign works to eradicate gobbledegook and their web site has some fascinating examples of overburdened language as below; mostly official instructions of one kind or another.

    http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/examples.html

    You can have a good chuckle at the examples, however, the English language, in common with many others, is a tremendous creative tool and it?s very easy to throw out the baby with the bathwater by over-simplifying the written word.

    On the front of the manual it should always have E&OE displayed prominently - some of the far eastern stuff is full of it.

    It needs doing! Not sure I need to venture far from home in this age of global communications.

    I'll work for anybody who'll pay my fee.

    I should add that it is what I do for a living.....!
