Plain Speech Please!
The garden, I read the other day, is now a “personalised recreational eco-unit”. This presumably means we will have to start calling a spade a “manually operated, recreational eco-unit, maintenance tool”. Where is it going to stop? What is needed, I submit, is a war on unnecessary jargon. Communicators should clarify, not add to, the confusion. I am all for modern techniques, but I want to go on calling a garden a garden and a spade a spade!
