Possiblly. The Plain English Campaign over this side of the pond is having a few notable victories. Do you have a similar movement where you-all are?

Indeed. If Plain English were to catch on, how could lawyers ever make a living?

Having just re-read Nineteen Eighty-Four for the nth time, I can't resist the urge to mention newspeak. Even though it does not employ acronyms, and it's purpose was (satirically) to make language and communication easier, it was still as painful to read Byb's post.
