:::The '''cratering sales''' term is a direct quote of something Vox Day wrote so I cannot change it. The rest of my mini-rant was nothing more than a general whinge at the increasing prevalence of certain buzz-words infecting '''my''' wonderful language. (And if anyone wants to discuss my use of '''my''' in that sentence, you're welcome....) [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] ([[User talk:AlanE|talk]]) 21:21, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

"Infecting your language". You sound like a Frenchman (the French are know for their linguistic purism as you probably know).
My guess is that with the advent of the internet and public school budgets being squeezed in aging Western nations, buzzwords/slang will increase and Rnglish instruction will degrade. I could be wrong, however. A very popular standardized college entry exam in the USA now has a written portion of the exam.
