The Superior Person's Field Guide to Deceitful, Deceptive and Downright Dangerous Language
Peter Bowler
Offers a call for the return to simple, straightforward words that say what they mean and mean what they say. This volume cuts a swath through the thickets of popular jargon, casting daylight on such linguistic deformities as 'interrogate with prejudice', 'unforeseen geological event', and 'critical power excursion'.
