In most cases, the phrase "computer speak" (sometimes as a single word) means technical jargon related to computers. But as more websites use databases to generate their content, we're getting to the point where computers are trying to speak to us, and we see just how dumb they can be.
Here's a classic piece of computer-interpreted data:
"Burclover is not viable as a Christmas Tree."
or ...
"In the wintertime, Burclover has a Porous foliage porosity."
These came from TheGrowSpot, which is actually a good site. But they could do without the huge clumsy paragraphs trying to describe their otherwise well-organized data in sentences.
Meanwhile, scammers have nearly invented their own worthless language to try and fool us into responding to their crap. I just got a spam email titled: "Dynamite instead of wiener." How's that supposed to work? You have sex and the whole house explodes. Unnatural deselection ... shades of porous porosity ... hell in a handbasket?
