My favorite line is the last one:
"Sorry for the lots of typos but i was in a real hurry when writong this document" He/She had time to write that comment, but not enough time to spellcheck? priceless. |
|
My favorite is the 'Billing' section. That's a precise description. It's clearer than the rest...
|
|
[:O][:(][:S][:|][:'(][:@][6][:^)][+o(][*-)][8o|][^o)] that's what I think when I get requests like this... |
|
That sounds like a dream. I hope there's still time to bid on that sweet baby. Billing I won’t describe this |
|
Billing is really overrated, and as for his home, maybe he lives at an
ISP? Maybe when you drop by his house to see your orders he'll make you some tea? |
|
Brilliant, I want to bid on this right now... I know that if this
guy's house was robbed, my lovely e-commerce site will go with the theif, and my goodness, I hope he has a halon system to snuff out any fires that may crop up. Ooh ooh, how about power issues; redundancy, generators?? If any one actually considers this proposal, they must be out of their f'ing minds. WTF![:'(] |
|
My favourite lines are:
"And a table-like something appear that ordered items reside in" "The essence of the new order is to let us know we have a new order" "For the product we will need a function that two pictures One of them is the small Other one is big" Csaboka |
|
I'd accept it.
$300,000 up front. Non-refundable :) Heck, I'd even host it for him, I already host my own website. |
|
I don't see the problem. My bosses routinely hand me specs like this.
|
|
The essence of the new order is to let us know we
have a new order Absolutely. Priceless. |
|
A semi-unrelated WTF inspired by the OP: Does his name (Péter) really have an accent over the E when properly spelled/pronounced, or is he just trying to be interesting? I mean, when you say "PEE-TER", the accent already IS on the first E, why add an explicit one?
|
|
Ok, maybe it's just me but I think a copy pasted post did break havoc
on the html of this thread. The funny part seems to be that the offending post was copied from Open Office and IE can't show the full page but FF can. Anyway, about the "spec", it's hard to believe this was forged in Word 2002, a napkin seem more suitable to this. |
BillingI won’t describe this This just so happens to be his finest grammar and spelling in the entire document. It's also about as informative as the other sections too. |
|
someone borked their post!

PS: Is now a good time to point out this forum software is WTF'd as well? |
|
You'd have a point about the spelling of the name if the mark was used
merely to mark the accented syllable. The acute mark is diacritical in many (most?) languages with it. In other words, it changes the sound. e.g., in French it changes the pronunciation (transcribed in English) from "puh" to "pay". After a quick google, it appears Péter is a common Hungarian name. It also seems e and é are pronounced the same, or at least very similarly, in Hungarian as they are in French. The examples given were the e sounds in "set" and "grey". |
|
A word document? WTF! :P So is the name pronounced pété or péteur?
|
|
English was not this person's first language, or at least I'm hoping that's the case. On a lighter note, the forum is acting weird. On the front page it showed there were 18 replies, and when I went to view this particular thread, the notation at the bottom said "Page 1 of 1 (20 items)". Alex's initial post plus 18 replies does not equal 20. Also I was able to easily notice that there's actually only about 5 replies displayed, a far cry from the 18 that are supposedly there. Maybe they're just really REALLY short posts. |
|
Upon further investigation, it looks like all the responses are there in the HTML, they're just not being displayed in my browser. Sorry I don't have the time to wade through all that output Alex, hopefully you (or a motivated reader) can lead us to salvation.

WTF Mate! Somehow this excerpt below explains the bad grammar and spelling and completely makes up for the whole document! [:D] "Sorry for the lots of typos but i was in a real hurry when writong this document" |
|
"Billing: I won’t describe this"
Gahhh! WTF do you want? The worst part is I've had (my employer's) clients give me about as many details and wondered why the project ran over budget. |
|
It's also pretty amazing that he's going to host it on a satellite
system. Those are high-latency systems, with pathetically slow upload times (I was on one for 2 years because I live in the boonies) |
|
The original document (written in Hungarian) was published on prog.hu, a Hungarian programming community site and believe me, Péter did great job with the translation. He did not add any unnecessary typos or semantical errors -- it truly reflects the style and contents of the original document. Funny that there were a few volunteers to implement the spec. For a reasonable amount of money, I guess :) |
|
The reason for the forum quirk (in IE only as far as I can tell) was an open ended <style> tag in the second post. It caught me offguard at first too, so I posted a closing </style> before (or between) the Billing comments on the first page. To see the missing comments, try FireFox of another moz browser.
|
|
Err, not Péter, but Zoltán. Hungarian has reversed name order compared
to most languages, it's surname + first name instead of first name + surname. Both Zoltán and Péter are surnames in Hungarian (like John James) , however, so it's easy to mix them up... |

It seems that my yesterday post from this thread was deleted (among others?). About "the Spec", It's kind of hard to believe it was written in Word 2002, A napkin appears to be more in the level of professionalism of "the Spec". |
|
I'm using Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12) right now and I only see a few of the replies. Yesterday with (I think) Opera 7.51 on Linux I saw the same thing. maybe one of the posts is closing the HTML or something.
|
|
From a linguistic standpoint, those are fairly different sounds. The
examples you found were not the best. The first is a lax vowel, and the second is tense. A better example would be the vowel sound between 'bet' and 'bait'. This is probably not entirely correct in Hungarian, though, as the sound in 'bait' is actually diphthongized. |
|
This forum software strikes me as pretty poor compared to phpBB.
But it runs on IIS, I guess. |

Anonymous: Thanks for schooling me about pay-tur, I wasn't intelligent
/ motivated enough to actually research it. I am thoroughly out-geeked by you![:D] Re: Satellite internet - I agree, I was on DirecPC for 2 years, and it was completely useless for uploads or online gaming, with ping times in the 600ms range on average! Hosting ANYTHING on such a connection would be beyond WTF, not to mention a violation of Terms of Service for the ISP. (Unless they do in fact have business class satellite internet, which I am not personally aware of.) -blue |

Yes, accents are for real, as i'm hungarian. We use accents regurarly [:P]
This spec is translated by me, trying to exactly reproduce all spelling and composition shortcomings. The original hungarian pdf is available here. Just for hungarian readers. I know there are some [;)] http://zka.freeblog.hu/Files/spec.pdf |
|
Yes, people DO mix it regurarly [:'(][:D]
|
|
Damn, this forum does not work as expected. Bah, sorry for stupid replies [:$]
|
|
Honestly, how can you say you've viewed those IT job-auction boards without seeing ads/requests like: "make me a copy of ebay. My budget is $50."
|
Thanks Zka, the original is hilarious. It looks like its written by a 5 year old. Too many sentences start with "and" (és) :). |
|
Yes, it has got. It is a hungarian name, ant there are a lots of accented letter is this language (I'm a hungarian, too:))
|
... which is actually quite difficult. PHP, and/or PHPBB, are past due for a WTF of their own. |
|
How do these people get through pre-school without choking on their crayons?
|
|
This is exactly the kind of contract that you bid "half up front" take the half and run.
|
|
In Russia such specs are often referred to as "One can rob corovans", after a fantasy role-playing game design document that became famous for its lameness.
