IBM speak always had me baffled. Back in the days of yore at IBM I received a memo on my desk in an envelope marked "secret and confidential".
I opened said letter and it started with... "There is a possibility of an IBM separation, do not discuss this with anyone...". I thought this was the way they fired people. It was actually a primer for the potential break up of IBM due to antitrust findings. I felt physically sick for a whole afternoon. Later I felt physically sick when IBM didn't break up!
