Stop talking like tossers

Some people refer to Life on Mars as a police procedural.
   Funny, I prefer the words cop show.
   I dislike it when people say price point, when they actually mean price. What the heck is a price point, anyway? If something has price points of $1 to $2, how does that differ from something that has prices of $1 to $2?
   This year, we need to stop talking like tossers. I have founded my consulting practice on talking in plain English: if your work is good enough, you don’t need wankspeak to cover yourself.

I've been navigating around your Life On Mars posts, as not yet seen the 2nd series of my favourite police procedural. If wankspeak ceases what will all the "wankspeakers" do?

The wankspeakers here can move to Washington, DC where there is high demand, or just go into hiding behind SPQR in Ponsonby.

They can just wank. No need to speak. Politicians are the biggest wan.. sorry, offenders.

Hey man, I really dig your writing. Clear and concise.
Cheers!

Thanks so much, Bishop! Like your blog, too!
