The Secret Language Of Spam

Looks like somebody's spamming software didn't process the message properly. I just got this via e-mail (URLs removed):

It's ${quick|fast}, ${easy|simple} and ${anonymous|very private}.
Our ${dat.ing|matchin.g} ${system|portal} has taken live ${dating|matching}
to a ${whole new|much higher} level.

Now you can {meet|get to know} someone in {seconds|nanoseconds},
${conversate|talk} to them and ${ensure|make sure} it's all ${that you like|by your taste}!

It sure makes it easy to block this type of thing when every option for this e-mail is spelled out so nicely.

Neat! Very informative. That's pretty smart; I'll bet it beats most spam filters, too.

Maybe it's smart. I got the same one yesterday and it got through two layers of spam filters to make it to my inbox.
