For this reason whenever someone speaks professionally instead of just saying the thing directly not only they're saying the original thing it's meant to be (ie. I don't have time for you, I told you so, that's a horrible idea...), but they're also adding an element of plausible deniability, which makes it pretty cowardly.
When I see managers speak like this I know the rot of bureaucracy has plagued the company culture and is time to find a smaller/less bs-type company.
It'd be a fun project to create a tool to "auto-correct" these phrases back to their original meaning so everyone knows what's being communicated. Maybe a Gmail Chrome extension?
