Error'd: Named And

I do like it when submissions include the creator of the wtf, unless the specific kind of err is really spectacular and then it might be noteworthy regardless. This week we received a few who did tell us something about the responsible party. That being said, on with the party!"

An anonymous contributor shared with us this "Important order info from Ubbad HBG-ICS I",saying "I checked on Amazon but can't find order #{randnum(3)}-{randnum(6)}. Thisis worrisome though, because my credit card does end in**{randnum(4)}." Wild, so does mine!

"With the right translation this could say anything" observedB.J. H. sagely."I guess they haven't translated to English yet. I especiallylike this: [%EXTERNAL_TRANSLATION:New gender_aware email footer body 5 privacy policyBLUE%] Can't they decide on capitalization and whether to usespaces or underscores?"

"this could go in two directions" worried undercapitalized (but aren't we all)klinsten. "well... it is amail with my paycheck. but the label 'promotions' got meworried. do i get a promotion (nice!!) or did theyapply a discount to my paycheck (less nice!!) i'm afraidto click it..."

ReaderValts S. wondered"I'm not sure where I'm supposed to track my order,but it feels like it's been censored." Or merely forgotten?

Regular contributor Michael R. took a flier with this, hedging that it's"Probably more a joke than a RWTF." But it's a little funny, so this editor will allow it.
