No jargon here?
This story from yesterday has just caught my eye ... some 200 words banned from Councils' use South of the Border!
I wonder if anyone will pay attention in Scotland ... not that City of Edinburgh Council reports ever contain this type of jargon ;-)

For those intervening 2-years, the political management of the tram project (and do have a quick look at the link to see what the Auditor General made of it in June 2007) has been elsewhere.
Very , Very , Very sad people with limited vocab or they have vast ammounts of time to compile such a list. Do they get fired instantly when they use any of these meaningless words or phrases?
