"Anguished English"

|

I just got an email at work that included this announcement:

"{Name omitted} will handle stock gift transactions for the General Fund on a go-forward basis."

And it made me wonder: just when did standard business English get fucked up so badly?

I was so tempted to write back and ask, "So does that mean that she'll be handling stock gift transactions for the General Fund from now on?"

Maybe I just need more coffee. (Or less!)
