>Why don't we all just quit the tip-toeing and cut to the heart of each interaction?

I get your point. I don't "like" Corpspeak, but working in the public sector in IT infrastructure, I like indirect language which doesn't presuppose "finger-pointing". I don't want to hear anyone snap or get emotional on a Zoom meeting on a DNS resolver upgrade event at 4am.

In most English discussion, the bias is in favor of "who did what", which has its place. When troubleshooting with people, the indirect Corpspeak makes it easier to talk about "what's happening" and "what is needed". I want to focus on the fact or "the what" that packets are being dropped, because I know all the engineers I'm talking to are also focused on "the what".
