Why is official English so different from spoken English?
And later on, a victim of a motorcycle accident had been taken to hospital with a broken leg and two cracked ribs. His condition was described by the hospital as being "comfortable" I am "comfortable" sitting in my easy chair watching TV, not lying in a hospital bed with bits of me broken.
And why are all high level political meetings characterised as being "full and frank discussions", instead of saying "We couldn't agree on anything".
If you look at the world of advertising, you will see non-English words everywhere. When did your spouse ever praise your home made soup as being "hearty?, or when did you ever call a pack of tampons a "feminine hygiene" product?
Well, I must go now, I need to go to the "powder room", or is it the "rest room"?
Cheers, Laurence.
