There might be something else at play there. Public sector workers are notorious for wooden language.

The example I hate the most is how they always say "number of" before every number like "we'll buy 10 new busses" becomes "we will commence the procurement of a number of 10 new buses".

Public sector workers? No, this was a private school.
