Death Sentence, The Decay of Public Language

TheAge.com.au brings us a review by James Button of the book, Death Sentence, The Decay of Public Language, by Don Watson, in which language is seen - to quote TheAge - as
"being mangled by the globalising forces of obfuscation".

As written by Button,
"The book charts how "managerial language" has infiltrated the English of politics, business, bureaucracy, education and the arts."

And as Watson writes:
"[E]very day we vandalise the language, which is the foundation, the frame, the joinery of the culture, if not its greatest glory, and there is no penalty and no way to impose one. We can only be indignant. And we should resist."
