OPINION | BRENDA LOOPER: Can the jargon


I  get a lot of press releases on my work email.

The political ones have the tendency to go straight to my trash (I'm sorry, Senator Whoever You Are from not Arkansas, I don't care about your disgust/intense pleasure over the action/inaction/comments/lack of comment by the president or whoever else; just stop clogging my email, please), as do so many of the surveys, since I try not to use random polls in my column. However, one recent survey did pique my interest.

Why? Because it was about despised business jargon.

While I won't go into details of the survey since I despise those done mostly for free advertising for the companies doing them, the concept here has a point: Jargon in general is just awful.
