Spotted this article on BBC’s website.Apparently LGA have instructed councils to no longer use jargon including the dreaded word ‘customer’.Will DWP follow suit? Hopefully. Some other crackers in there.Well worth a read by clicking on the list at the side of the article.

Any other examples that hbinfo colleagues was like to see banned?

I would really like it to apply to the Tribunal Service.

How would judges feel about having to use words like “ended” and “changed” instead of their beloved “Terminated” and “Supercession”?

Personally I would find it immensely gratifying if officious organisations would relent from the continuous usage of superfluous and unecessary phraseology.

‘[i:bb3e41a8fa]Tri[/i:bb3e41a8fa]bunal’

I think that should go since, for the vast majority of cases, appeals are now heard by ‘[i:bb3e41a8fa]uni[/i:bb3e41a8fa]bunals’!!

sorry folks, the Tribunal Service and DWP (should) use revision, supersession, suspension , termination, because they are terms specified in the legislation. Ended, changed, reviewed, stopped, removed, closed, etc, are not.

A tribune was a Roman magistrate of some sort: tri (three) has nothing to do with it.
