Plain English has become an endangered species as more and more people sign up for a version of the language that is riddled with jargon and smothered in cliches. Irish broadcaster John Murray points the finger at some of the worst offenders - politicians and business people who never tire of telling us about their `multi-channel capabilities' - and wonders at the lengths that people will go to say a lot without really saying anything at all. On starting his career in business journalism, Murray gave the training a miss and was soon churning out figures and talking about EBITDA, and such. What he hadn't counted on was the need to learn a `foreign' language to get by. Where once there were plain links, there are now connectivity, synergies, and partnerships. This book conducts a campaign to try and stave off the contamination of the English language.
