But its funny as heck. :)

Dear Employees:


It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals
throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their co-workers. Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated. We do however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with co-workers. Therefore, a list of 18 New and Innovative "TRY SAYING" phrases have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner.

Chuck,
WTF are you trying to tell us??

Or should have said 'thanks for the information, I have found it usefull and it offers a compelling view on how to synergize the work place environment, while creating new rationlized opportunities for a dynamic cross matrixed working paradigm with my fellow associates.'
