Thank you for this post maybe the IMHO and BTW'ers will see the error 
of their ways.  Perhaps if  IT personnel heard all the jokes about 
their communications skills, mostly made about them behind their 
backs,. they might also get the message.

if it is truly worth putting in a sentence it's probably worth writing 
out completely.

Then on second thought, they probably will not not get the message.
