>>>How's that for style, eh? Goes hand in hand with "What we're doing here is we're...". It's one of the dumbest crutch sentences I've ever heard - and it's completely redundant. "What I will do now is " and "What we're doing here is " can be completely erased without affecting the meaning of the sentence in any way. OK, doing no damage, at least. There's a side effect, though: the sentence becomes shorter and clearer and sounds less stupid.

>I got a note from our HR department about my compensation. It's printed both in English and French - only a paragraph in each case. In English, it started with 'Alan Popow'. In French (the bottom half of the page), it started 'Monsieur ou Madame'.
