Phrases That Don't Make Sense

[Lost User]

From time to time my work in IT has caused me to mutter things that make no sense. Today's example: I just received the 3rd revision to the final version of the specifications.

...and still waiting for the final revision to the final version of the specifications.

"Coming soon"

The part that doesn't make sense is the final version of the specifications We all know there is no "final" version of specifications :)

I'd be happy with just that :sigh:

Every revision of a specification is the final version of that specification. The revision you get tomorrow is a new specification.

Half the damn time there isn't a first version of the specification!

The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Most of the time my specifications are this: Make it like project X, except it'll be different. Of course they can't explain what is different, so I spend a couple hundred hours making something only to have to throw half of it out and do it again...

During a recent product release cycle, we made it to RC13. Yes, release candidate 13. :sigh:
