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.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
