I come into contact with quite a few quasi-eloquent people who talk all the time like they are in a board meeting. I wonder if they go home and talk to their kids like that and if so, do their kids start talking like that?

Do any orgers talk like that and if so, is there a school that you all attend where you have to learn it all?:confused

Just wondering btw:lol:

I know some of those. I wonder how they talk after the close of play when they go home at the end of the day, do they engage with their families? :lol:

Have you not heard of The University of Jargon Speak?
The tutorials are based on using fabricated words that have no meaning and frequently mean the complete opposite of what is stated.To obtain a PHD one needs a vivid imagination, a penchant for verbal invention, a garbled knowledge of franglais and other such languages.

But incentivising can be transformational when it comes to getting the core message over. :lol:

It's worse when they combine abbreviations, acronyms, board room phrases with a High Rising Terminal. Man pass me the sick bucket, you know who you are! ;)

I hope you've evaluated the resource implications of passing the sick bucket.
