Tongue firmly in cheek?

The Local Government Committee has called on the Scottish Government to cut down on jargon and to
publish an "assessment matrix of candidate national developments against the national development criteria"

Quite.

  1. Yup, I was just amused by the demand to cut the jargon followed by a jargon-crammed demand.

    Jargon actrually serves some very useful communication purposes and everyone uses it. The art is in stripping out as much as you can when communicating with people outside that particular jargon circle - as in there would be little point in me talking to someone outside my campaign team about lateral slide in the Lib Dem vote but it makes perfect sense to us.
