I'm not a fan of buzzwords, or worse, people who think buzztalk makes them sound clever and superior to others. The types of people who call an inspection, "A physical investigation of a workplace with the aim of identifying hazards and the use and effectiveness of control measures".
You know what I call an inspection? Walking around, with your eyes open, looking for stuff that needs to be improved.
So I guess you could say I'm on Team Einstein - if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Also, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. I possibly read way too many Dickens and Hardy and Tolkien novels growing up, but I have a verbosity hangover the likes of which is entirely unwelcome to someone on Team Einstein.
I can't do much about overly-complicated, nonsensical explanations, descriptions and sentences floating about the professional stratosphere, but I can do something about buzzwords.
I have begun a 'Buzzword Journey', to attempt to make me smile instead of cringe when these nuggets sprout up around my delicate person.
So, here it goes!
