Recently, Microsoft came up with the idea of "decrypting" computer-speak for the benefit of parents who might be stymied with what their kids might be writing on the internet.
To help with this, I've linked the english-to-AOL translator here, along with an example translation.
English:
I am writing to you to express my severe dissatisfaction with your mail order service. I had ordered a pair of Hogue grips for my SP-101, and expressly stated that I preferred to have them delivered to my house.
Two weeks later, I still had not recived my package. I did recieve an invoice, however, which listed, a full size "adult satisfaction" doll. To complicate the situation, the shipment had been delivered to my Mother's house, who is a Nun. By the time I arrived, my mother had unpacked the shipment and, somewhat confused, was trying to have afternoon tea with it.
I am requesting a full refund, and a letter of apology from your company. I will keep the shipment however.
