I’ve poked fun at corporate-speak before. I saw Wank Word Bingo in the office. It’s funny and clever. I reckon it would keep me awake in meetings.

The scary thing is that if you’re submerged in the corporate culture and everyone else is using wank words and you don’t know any better, you too will think that this is the way to speak if you want to be taken seriously. Lucky for me, I spoke a couple of times in the Plain English Speaking Award. That taught me a bit.

Tip of the week: Don’t use ‘utilise’ when ‘use’ will do.
