Before you read my story, please satisfy my curiosity and think about an answer to the question - if I were to say that something was "short ordered", what do you think that means?
Another project, another botch, groundhog day all over again. This time around among other problems, I am short a number of panels. As far as I'm concerned, my responsibility begins and ends with telling them that I did not have enough panels; it should be up to the people getting paid gobs of money to do the planning that should have to figure out how and why this problem occurred. But no, that falls on my shoulders because I don't already have enough on my plate with my short deadlines, incompetent workers, and defective product.
Okay, so I know that the quantity I received matched the quantity ordered because that's something that we now check prior to starting the job. This makes my job easy. I do a walkthrough to confirm that everything was properly built to plan (which was complicated by some last minute changes that didn't make it onto my plans along with some recons because of some other plan botches), and I am able to determine that all panels were installed properly. Okay, so there were 80 of these panels ordered, 80 of these panels were received, we have used all 80 of these panels, I need 4 more to complete my build to plan. So simple logic concludes that the order was short the 4 units required, or as I write it "short ordered".
Well what does "short ordered" mean?!? WTF do you mean "what do I mean"? I mean the order was short. No no, that makes no sense. I have to write it out as:
80 ordered
80 received
84 required
Nope that's still not good enough, it needs to be:
80 were ordered
80 were received
84 were required
Yeah dumbass, you fucked up. AGAIN. AS USUAL. AS ALWAYS.
Sorry I'm not fluent in idiot so I don't write things out in the simplistic terms your tiny brain requires, but can you get a neuron or two to flicker for a moment and see that what I wrote makes perfect sense. And go fuck yourself while you're at it.
Or am I wrong, does "short ordered" actually not make any sense?

Seconded on the "were" thing; somehow, I doubt those guys have any right to complain about minor quibbles with grammar!
