Among the computer programmers who worked in 70-ies on IBM mainframe computers,
the language used by the computer operation system IBM OS
was often called (in a joking jargon) as "a bird language", since normal people (even programmers)
were not able to understand it.
The language used in this concrete post, reminds me that "bird language",
because the posted message, although consists of English words, still requires to be translated
to proper English.
