Govspeak When Spoken Too.

"We're looking into it" = We have no idea

"I'll take that under advisement" = Dumb idea; thank God I don't work for you

"Highly Encouraged" = A good thing to do that I have no authority over

"Strongly Suggested" = I can't make you do it, but I can make your life hell if you don't 

"We plan to contract it out" = We have no idea how to do this
