What exactly does this "gobbledygook" look like?
Platoon,
As Gruppenfuhrerrr I mussst take exception to the "quoting out" of the word gobbledygook. This personal favorite of mine among all English words is a perfectly valid member of the club, as any decent dictionary will prove [http://gobbledygook.word.sytes.org/], and should not be discriminated against. Ai protest zis diskriminatshion in ze strongest possible terms ANT VILL DEFENT gobbledygook's honor of TO TEH DAETH!!!
Thank you. As you were, gentlemen.

PS: Gobbledygook. I like saying that. Gobbledygook. :-)
PPS: Actually, WordNet's entry is incomplete. From my work in (English language) IT telephone support, I recall that most contemporary Irish and UK business world PC users understand gobbledygook to mean "a bunch of garbled, seemingly random characters". (Which is what Giuseppe was referring to. But most of yers knew that anyway.)
