Depending on the context, boilerplate language is a set of
phrases, sentences, paragraphs and sometimes pages of text included
in a document or response that has been pre-written.
The boilerplate language is copied and pasted into a new
[context] document so that the writer of the new document is not
required to craft what is included thereby.
Boilerplate language is usually written by someone in charge,
whether it be a PR person, a lawyer, an officer, or someone else,
who has the authority to write the boilerplate language.
Boilerplate language usually states a position, offers an idea,
or puts forward some standard.
The auto-signature on an e-mail message can be considered
boilerplate language, as an example.
