Dec 15, 2010 Would never dream of using it on the two wonderful colleagues I am sharing a huge, ghastly text with, but oh, I wish someone had used those on the source Deadline is today, but the client still has forty pages that we have not seen yet. zzzzzzz!   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Wordeffect   France Local time: 22:38 Member (2009) French to English + ...	Thanks, Suzan! Dec 16, 2010 I like the idea of formalising the circled WTF.
