Subject: RE: BS: been made redundant
kendall & lox (and anyone else interested in defeating 'management speak' might be interested in "Death Sentence", a book by Don Watson, castigating the deliberate fouling of people's ability to think and express themselves clearly. Don wants his epitaph to read "He used verbs."

There's also a great website
http://www.fightthebull.com/
that gives a free download of a Windoze- and Word-compatible program that allows you to detect and filter management-speak. There's a great back story about the download hidden on Deloitte Touche's website

Sorry about the lack of hotlink.

Cheers, Rowan
