What's the standard of written English like at your ClientCo? And what do you do with communications that are so badly phrased as to be ambiguous or almost incomprehensible? I am thinking of this kind of thing:
Say what? Not talking about chatty informal mails (or bulletin board posts ;-), but design documents, formal policy announcements, technical communications and so forth. Personally, if I cannot make sense of a text, I either bin it or rewrite in clear language and return. When it comes up later I point out that pidgin is no language in which to conduct business.
Of course the real mystery is how someone who, if they were a native school-leaver applying for a post and demonstrated this level of literacy would not even get an interview, came to be employed in the first place.
This in first place should not be used by any other project team except the admin but due to the other way where many are using it for which tracking of the changelings happening in XXXX server is difficult.
