Grammar
A sentence that make me confused
A: It should have made to your inbox, but maybe lost in all collectors on your desk.
B: You know how things get pilot on my desk when I am busy.
Hi, is there anyone who can tell me what the above mean?
"Maybe lost in all collectors on your desk" means? the "desk" is a real desk or desktop? Why there are all collectors?
And what about "get pilot"?
Very appreciated!

It came from business english :Memos. The dialogue is as below:
A:I have been waiting here in the conference room for ten minutes already, what time is the meeting start? where is anyone anyway?
B:Didn't you hear about that, our meeting was postponed until Friday.
A: What? the meeting was postponed? No one told me anything about it.
B: Did you get the memo?

Was this in a textbook? There are many, many mistakes in the dialogue.

Hi there,
It's not something I've come across, I have to say. Also, they don't grammatically make sense so I fear you've muddled it with something else.
If you can give us some more context, that'd be great.
Thanks,

Hi,
Firstly thank you very much for the reply!
I read that dialogue from a website. Maybe it is just a bad website and that dialogue might be made by our people. Since it doesnt make any sense, then i should have dropped it.
Thank you all the same!

Well, don't use that website for studying English. Really, there are problems in almost every sentence.
