Garbage Language Why do corporations speak the way they do?
- Finnucane 7y agoIt is apparent that much garbage-speaks driven by the need to appear more powerful, the tasks at hand more important and complex, than they really are. And the obfuscation papers over any moral or ethical ambiguity over how what we’re doing affects other people or the world we live in. Which sadly means there’s always going to be a certain amount of it, and complaining about specific instances like ‘space’ or ‘architected’ is probably futile.
