Bizbonics

The biggest threat to the English Language is not from hip-hop, Rastafarians, or Tex-Mex slang.  No, these dialects are the fertile soil in which our living language continues to thrive and grow.  

The real threat comes from Bizbonics, a patois originating in corporate conference rooms, illuminated only by cast-off light from PowerPoint presentations, a grammatical twilight zone in which nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverb, and gerunds are indistinguishable; without structure or form, the language is rendered a formless word-blob.

• In bizbonics, one doesn’t respond to a request, but to an ‘ask’.
• One does not have a conversation or a chat; one has a dialogue (n), in which one dialogues (v).
• We don't learn lessons; we learn ‘learnings’
• Campaigns don't have a Cost; but have a ‘spend’ 
• And these campaigns don't hope to communicate; but to 'message'
• If one is generous, one doesn't give to a charity; we 'gift'
