Description:
Doublespeak is language that is evasive, deceptive or misleading. Examples: Lies told by politicians are "strategic misrepresentations"; sewage sludge is "regulated organic nutrients" that don't stink but "exceed the odor threshold". In a pithy sequel to his bestselling first DOUBLESPEAK, William Lutz exposes the latest prevarications that permeate our public discourse and shows us how to fight doublespeak in our homes, schools, workplaces, and the political arena.
