Poorly Worded

While on hold today, I heard

"... we value the importance of your call ..."

Think about it.

Instead of telling your loved ones "you are important to me" just tell them "Your importance is valuable to me!" Of course, you could say this to your enemies, too.

How much "value" is implied of the "importance" of your call?
Are they making a buck on your dime?

Seen in an email, where X is the name of application software used to report on safety incidents:

The issue with X has been resolved and is now available for entering incidents.

Strange!

 

[CajunCenturion]

That's not strange; it's just plain wrong, unless the issue is available for entering incidents.
