86. That explains why
in the corporate world you hear and see in written correspondence things like:

I agreed it with Joe.

I will be journaling this meeting with you.

The marketing department is architecting a new ad campaign.

... maximize data to drive marketing initiatives that align with our grand strategies.

The mission is to learn more about leveraging the solutions for mission critical business applications.

The journalization of the meeting will be sent to you.

We need leverageable synergy.

Please action the following requests.

Calendaring will be a challenge.

And one last beauty at the end of a presentation: Final Conclusion

These are not entry level new hires, these are vice presidents of corporations. Back in school, the kids who got As in English were picked on. Americans as a rule don't take foreign languages. If you want to learn your own language, learn another one and compare and contrast.

Is there any wonder we have monstrosities like the above examples? I love looking for and mocking silliness I find in company-wide emails.

Spoken and written communication skills are essential and should be treated as such.
