Here's a simple rule of thumb - the longer the average sentence, and the higher the average syllables per word, the worse it is.
Every org has its own dialect, which can make switching organizations "interesting" on occasion. But I've found that rule of thumb to be pretty universal.
Nailed it. And everyone at the Board meeting will be using their AI assistant to record and translate the discussions during the meeting, alleviating the need for some bureaucrat who is jotting down notes (minutes) to hand out later.
In one of my trainings back in 2000 everyone in the class had to write a "mission statement" as to what we saw our position in the department was. I wrote one with a bunch of politically correct terms in it, and the instructor turned to me after reading it aloud, "I think we found the supervisor." I'm still not a supervisor and never have been, thankfully.
Attended a training session in Iraq when I was working for LSI. We had a ding jar for both acronyms and Corporate Speak. It was filled before noon all three days of training. Most companies should institute similar policies, IMO.

Corporatespeak is a direct derivative of Politically Correct.
Gotta respect the "feels".
