Gapster -
Thanks for the reply! I agree with your regarding taking a stance, but feel that it needs to be done en-masse.
Totally agree wrt to the way the company is going - I have been reading both the AMAN and Vision2011 threads on NATSNET with interest.
I find it unbelievable that some people in the CTC actually think this bullsh!t bingo that has crept into our communications is a good thing. We have a perfectly acceptable and useable language (English).
If they spent more time on getting projects right, and less on trying to fit as many OK-ya phrases into everyday speech, then we would be onto a winner.
There are obviously some very clever people in our company - their time and effort should be diverted from thinking up new sh!t phrases to ironing out huge problems elsewhere!!
A campaign for a return to plain English within NATS is one initiative I would 'buy into'(
)and 'take ownership'(
) of...
