Following the path beaten out by the Plain English Campaign (now in its 30th year) and their Golden Bull Awards,
organisations such as the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) have been expressing their
frustration at the proliferation of gobbledegook in public life.
At the end of 2007, the LGA released a list of 100 words local authorities should not use, such as conditionality, coterminosity and contestability.
We all have moments of
frustration in both our personal and professional lives, but tweeting a personal
frustration from an organisational account can have serious negative impacts for the individual, for the
organisation, and even for the broader issues
at play.
