Language is about communicating. But still politicians dupe us with deliberately evasive language, professors fear the consequences of correcting their students' mangled sentences, and bureaucrats bore us into submission. This book has fun at the expense of language abusers, and also raises serious issues about people in power who use words to manipulate us. Language should be simple, clear and honest. Where it is not, we need to ask why - and do something about it.
