Re:Garbage Language: Why do corporations speak the way they do? by iancmceachern on Monday March 21, 2022 @12:19PM (#30755909)
I worked at a place where they started writing down the jargon as if they were real words. They even started naming documents these non-words. I worked at another place that had in its quality system a procedure for Data analysis. In the data analysis procedure it said to "trend the data". They meant "perform statistical analysis" but wrote the procedure from the point of view of website metrics or social media post popularity and not from the perspective of a technical or scientific professional doing statistics.
