Corporate English is a blight. So many ugly substitutions, overloading existing words, for perfectly good and common words we already have.


It is my belief that you may not fully leverage the synergistic potential of the value-added verbosity inherent in corporate linguistics.


Agreed. It's very important to maximize cross-functional coherence to capitalize on strategic imperatives for maximal growth opportunities.


Unless there’s a fulcrum involved, I don’t want to read the word “leverage”.


The fulcrum is externalities. Good ask, though!


Let's double-click on that: There's value in expensive signalling, and sometimes the expense is an intentional (or at least tolerated) lack of aesthetics.


We should take this offline so we can really zoom in.


Corporate life is just really boring and this kind of nonsense is understood as fun by people engaging in it.
