Huey,
I find your comments offensive. To make fun of the Clientese is extremely
racial and bigoted. Your comments promote a stereotype of Clients as being
indifferent, out-of-touch, and uncommitted to their work. Several of my
friends are Clients and they are fully-functional members of society. Have
you ever been to Clientland, Huey? It's an awful place full of gourmet
coffees, wing-tipped shoes, and martinis for lunch.
