Giver her a break will you- at least she did not use the meaningless cliche of the moment- "going forwards" or worse, its newer derivative "moving forwards"...

She is an American - she speaks CNN - that is her culture- where the word 'mirror' is pronounced 'mere' - to me a mere is a man made ancient pond on a hill top, to an American it is a glass, reflecting device...

As a former insider in the dark arts of Pr gobbledegook and non-speak, I find her words as bland and as non-commital as they were intended and designed to be - just like all corproate - speak robot output.

Gordon Brown once told he was "Progressing the economy going forwards". One is forced to ask what other direction could or would progress create for its self....

You lot really ought not to be surprised at this Sir Humphery-esque speak the woman is spewing- its her job! Training that evovles- wow what a scorcher...

Frankly, we Brits invented it you know, don't blame anyone else...
