The language of business

in

One of my students recently sent me this article: https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20141020052253-64875646-50-things-you-must-stop-saying-at-work

 

I found it entertaining and true. The basic idea of these no-nos is speak clearly, directly, and plainly. Use words you know; avoid obtuse metaphors and buzz words. Business language, whether written or spoken, should be conversational and correct, not catchy and cute.
