English people (excludes USA people) should always try to speak simple,
jargon-free, easily understandable and logically expressed English
especially when conversing with non-English people.

I greatly admire the linguistic abilities of non-English people but
deplore the dumbed-down abuses of my native language from the US of A.

A military plan has become a "road map" even when aircraft are involved
provoking the inevitable question of "Do aircraft stop at traffic
lights" !

"Back-up" has become either reverse, a saved copy, re-enforcements etc.
Precision in language expression is essential for good understanding.

Comments off-list please.
