    Given the level of English displayed in the rest of the item, using "Thrid" as if it is a correct spelling of "Trhid" is neither here nor there.

    Notably, "tangle" even has 938715642 syllables, according to the same page. I feel there's an OEIS entry hidden ...

    The Jira screenshot is a double WTF: the obvious negative 1.5 billion price tag, and then they also appeared to have multiplied that by the number of users to get the per-user price instead of dividing by the number of users.

    TRWTF, of course, is that English has a need for tools to work out how many syllables there are in any given word.

    No. TRWTF is that anyone thinks it does. English is not at fault here.

    The Jira screenshot is fitting for the quality of the product itself.

    If you look at the number of each of those results, it's merely the numbers 1 through 9 randomly rearranged. I'm thinking this is a deliberate attempt to get you to open the page rather than rely on a search preview.

    Not necessarily. It could just be bad (or intentionally misleading) design. IIf you just read it in order you can parse it as "-$1.5 billion per user (average), -$15 billion per month". The fact that the "per user (average)" text is stylistially and spatially associated with the second figure rather than the first could just be an effort to get you to think of the big, bold, numerically smaller number as the total.
