I had a sales manager actually send me an e-mail that contained the following phrase (on something that has nothing to do with geology):
… articulate a cohesive picture of our tectonic platform and roadmap with respect to the various solution sets …
I think he was being paid by the word. Or the syllable.
Of course, this guy also uses “front-end” as a verb, hyphenates “follow-up” as a verb, and loves the verb “leverage” for “make use of.”

Ooh, I haaaaaate it when people hyphenate verb/preposition combos! “You can pick-up your item…” Gah!
Maybe you should reply with an email that’s 90% TLAs.
Eventually language will be a complete impediment to understanding (I think I got that from Calvin and Hobbes).
