Don Watson and the Death Sentence

There's a book out there that's worth reading called Death Sentences. It pokes fun at corporate speak and how it is killing our language. In an early passage, he laments after reading yet another mind-numbing piece: "One paragraph and my mind swam, consciousness drifted. Whatever thoughts the words contained, I could not reach them: I could not understand because I could not make myself interested."
The irony is that whoever wrote what he was reading probably was even less interested. Watson suggests that "language will lift in tone and clarity only when those who write and speak it take words seriously again."
