When I asked why, they said it was for "technical reasons". They may as well have just put "it broke plz kthxbye" because it's about as useful.

Maybe I'll implement it but only set it for certain users. And I even understood everything you said except for "lgf". I would love to do all those things.

"It broke plz lgf kthxbye." Change all the friendly input sanitation errors to: "PEBKAC stfu". Or create a rosetta stone that they have to reference to decode your reply. Hmm.... I don't think I'm being very serious anymore. Write more interesting error messages and see what they think of it.

“It broke plz lgf kthxbye.”

Change all the friendly input sanitation errors to: “PEBKAC stfu”.

It doesn't take that long to take the time to type a few extra letters! But then I hate text language and think everyone should write in proper English, even in a text message :) I do not think it is acceptable for people at work who don’t know you to use ‘plz’ etc. I guess I could cope if ‘plz’ (etc) was used by people at work who you are friendly with or who you know well, but even that would annoy me.
