Why bullsh*t language is so difficult to give up

Trust thought for today - a sympathetic look at why bullsh*t language is so difficult to give up. But why we should try.

I am having such fun with the bullsh*t work. Here new on the Apolitical site is my latest foray:

Why Bullsh*t Language is So Tempting (couldn't have the BS word in the title on Apolitical!)

"Buzzwords, clichés and endless strings of meaningless words have taken over our language like some sort of invasive strangling vine. But it’s not until I tried to think up alternatives that I saw why and began to appreciate their seductive power. ‘Bullshit language’, this ragtag collection of bad writing styles is interpreted by bullsh*t scholars (yes there is such a thing!) to be about deliberately subverting the truth. Whilst this is sometimes the case, the reality is often much less malign - we get caught up in it because it’s easier, we want to fit in and get through our to-do list as quickly as possible.

So I tried to understand just why bullsh*t language is so annoying, and yet we continue to use it. This is what I found."

There should be no registration necessary to read, but in case there is a problem, here it also is on Medium.
