28、nglish language exists in a condition of everlasting danger, its American branch most particularly, assaulted as it is from all sides by those who would reduce it to puzzling and obscure jargon, pop-psychological nonsense and vague beautified words, but it is not without its defenders. Ken Smith, au

29、thor of Junk English, is the leading figure. He begins with a brief and clear declaration:Junk English is much more than loose and casual grammar. It is a signal of human weaknesses and cultural license: abandoning the language of the educated yet giving birth to its own self-glorifying words and ph

30、rases, favoring appearance over substance, broadness over precision, and loudness above all.

35、tried to guilt him into returning the money. In the end, though, being sensible about language is in essence trying to insist that words mean what they properly mean and are used accordingly. Thus, for example, Smith insists that dialogue and discussion are not synonyms and should not be used interc

36、hangeably; that complimentary does not mean free; that experience does not mean feel; that facilitate does not mean ease; that generate does not mean produce; that lifestyle does not mean life.Smith obviously has spent a lot of time making notes about the ways in which we min and abuse our language,

37、 with results that are impressive in their thoroughness and depressing in their going to far. Occasionally he overlooks the obviousamong euphemisms he mentions customer care representative but not courtesy call, and among the previously mentioned palsy-walsy language he inexplicably overlooks Your c

43、saw an animal and they consider themselves to be making a futile guess. Yet those guesses are right much more often than they are wrong.
