He would use a million long convoluted words he didn't understand to say something simple. His 5 page emails to ask if anyone was popping to the pub after work were legendary. For some reason the fact that people now do most of their communication via a keyboard means that they try to sound like they are nuclear physicists!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751959001700318826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421913838337434.post-70078564053512004362007-08-16T21:59:00.000+01:002007-08-16T21:59:00.000+01:00You're very welcome Drayton.

I knew you would find the piece interesting - if for the wrong reasons - as soon as I stumbled on it.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many people have gotten half-way through and then given up - I know I would have had I not struck by just how much waffle there was!<BR/><BR/>The sad truth is that had I not picked up on your writings, Drayton, I may have once thought it was quite a good piece. For example, if the writer had explained to me that what he was doing was being "creative", "new" and making the company sound appealing to customers by using words such as "cutting-edge", "innovation" and "integrity", I may have been swayed to think this was actually a good piece. It just goes to show how vital it is to have a proper grounding for one's marketing ideas rather than accept such wishy-washy explanations.<BR/><BR/>I am happy to report that "Commonsense ... " is giving me such a grounding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661794839908664268noreply@blogger.com
