"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The 69 Words GM Employees Can Never Say
Submitted by Bradley Keyes on Thu, 2014-05-22 23:00
General Motors put together a list for employees back in 2008: 69 words and phrases that were not to be used in public presentations, according to the Wall Street Journal. They include: defect, defective, safety, safety related, dangerous, bad, and critical. You know, words that the average person, in the context of the millions of cars that GM has recalled, might understand as indicative of underlying problems at the company. Oh, terribly sorry, "problem" was on the list as well.
