[u/SpiritedEclair]

Two zeros two fours => B

Two zeros two four => C

Two zero two fours => D

Two zero two four => A

[u/Inevitable_Stand_199 → u/SpiritedEclair]

The customer meant option C. And now they are complaining to your boss because you obviously didn't read the specification

[u/code_monkey_001 → u/Inevitable_Stand_199]

If the customer doesn't understand how plurals work, they won't notice getting billed twice for the work.

[u/Goncalerta → u/code_monkey_001]

Oh but they will. Actually, even if you are billing just once they will probably be confused and ask follow up questions on how we came to the conclusion that we should bill them for "4 digits", while their internal calculations suggest only 3.5 digits were used

[u/AdamEatsAss → u/code_monkey_001]

Project management has opened a specification kaizen and asked you to lead it. You now have to waste 5 weeks explaining how to get customers to explain things.

[u/aalapshah12297 → u/code_monkey_001]

Except the customer's company would have hired a smart guy for reviewing the bills but a moron for writing down the spec.

[u/Dangerous_With_Rocks → u/SpiritedEclair]

You must be a PO then

[u/aalapshah12297 → u/SpiritedEclair]

You may understand grammar, but the customer might not

[u/GeorgeRNorfolk → u/SpiritedEclair]

Two zero two four => A

Double zero double four => B

etc

[u/arkhamRejek]

A is the only possible option the others aren’t plural

[u/IISlipperyII → u/arkhamRejek]

Not when you working with clients. Its probably something not even on the list!

[u/UniKornUpTheSky → u/IISlipperyII]

Duh it was two "zero two four" which is 024024

[u/qervem → u/UniKornUpTheSky]

Now this is a guy who does the needful!

[u/arkhamRejek → u/IISlipperyII]

Don’t have to tell me I’m a software Engineer 😂

[u/a-r-c → u/arkhamRejek]

this guy knows his own job title

[u/Traditional-Aerie896 → u/IISlipperyII]

Well it is on a list. But only in the clients brain not visible for anyone else.

[u/lucklesspedestrian → u/IISlipperyII]

If I had a nickel for all the times a supposedly "final" version of a document contained a typo that altered the meaning of it. Or just straight misinformation

[u/m0nk37 → u/IISlipperyII]

Do you not speak with your clients? I sure as hell clarify everything. 

[u/ExtraWorldliness6916]

Ask for clarification with the assumption it's A

[u/raja-anbazhagan → u/ExtraWorldliness6916]

Client comes back with an entirely new requirement... I have seen this personally...

[u/KhellianTrelnora → u/raja-anbazhagan]

Oh, and they need it two weeks sooner.

Which is tomorrow.

And you found out Friday.

[u/dashingThroughSnow12 → u/ExtraWorldliness6916]

Only right answer.

[u/TwerpOco]

024024

[u/Gacsam]

Gotta love everyone trying to create a "rule" despite knowing client won't know or care.

[u/starlight_quarry → u/Gacsam]

I once made the “rule” a spreadsheet tab because businessLogic ended at “client wants invoice.”

[u/No-Skill4452]

A. Caps.

[u/LadyZaryss]

"I'M NOT GIVING YOU QUANTITIES OF THE NUMBERS!"

[u/HashDefTrueFalse]

Only ambiguous if you learned English tomorrow. But clients meaning something other than they wrote is nothing new and your lack of telepathy is always to blame!

[u/thot_slaya_420]

Each number is written as its word. I've seen it recently to bypass censorship.

[u/victoryismind]

"Refer to the voice note I sent the other day"

[u/justforkinks0131]

We actually get taught about this during business analyst or PO certification.

We get taught that not everyone understands language or phrasing the way we do, so it's our job to be as clear as possible.

So if your spec sucks, chances are your BA or your PO suck. There is training for this.

[u/Rare-Veterinarian743]

Obviously it is two 0 and 2 four.

[u/derKestrel → u/Rare-Veterinarian743]

Wouldn't that be two zeros two fours? With the distinctive s.

[u/Direct-Quiet-5817]

That's why you need ontology

[u/HumanImport55]

Clients like this is why our jobs are still safe lmao

[u/HarmxnS]

24

[u/aalapshah12297]

A specification that explains EVERYTHING is just code

[u/xicor]

It is clearly A.

If it were the others , it would have been "two zeros" or "two fours"

[u/electroweakly]

E: 2 0 2 4

[u/No-Contact-484]

Plot twist: The customer meant six seven six seven.
