What good would it do you to tell your boss, besides providing some
transitory venting relief? 

Having worked with engineers like this before, I would strongly advise you
against asking them to pay attention to their grammar and spelling. You
think it's bad now? You think it can't get any worse? Ha! You have no idea.

I suspect the best you can do is CYA by giving your boss up-to-date timeline
estimates based on the input you have to work with. Then bring a towel to
sob into, and try to take a couple breaks every day to walk briskly or lift
weights -- or go run over cute puppies with your SUV.
