"Call [my former employer] today to begin the end of your electrical engineering problematic situations."

Whaaa??? You know, as someone about to embark on a graduate program in English, I should have rewritten that sentence. But I didn't. Why? For a variety of reasons. One: I used to try to help them with sentences like that and I was told not to. Two: Frankly, I'm feeling a bit lazy, and my contract doesn't say anything about me creating decent English that other people can understand. Three: They deserve to look stupid to the outside world.
