Lex Fortis Gives Us a Writing Lesson
May 21In a post titled “Same Is Not a Noun,” Lex Fortis gives a writing lesson that has a real application for HR communication.
Every industry has its own jargon but few reach the depths plumbed by lawyers. I’m not talking about terms with special, legal meaning like “warranty,” “deed” or “personal jurisdiction.” Those are necessary evils. I’m talking about a host of bad habits that make lawyer English nearly unrecognizable.
I’m adding a few HR terms to the garbage pile: employee engagement, value proposition (of any type), and business partner. There are many, many more.
Read the whole article here. BTW, Lex Fortis is on my daily “Must Read” list.
