Capture the language and you change the culture

Capture the language and you change the culture. Agree or disagree. Need data? Off the radio one morning, were these phrases which have re-designed our use of the English language: “ find their greatness in life” “memorandum of understanding” “Optimists volunteers” “relation to projects” I could document hundreds more if I wrote them down each day. Add another phrase “forever homes” for pet adoptions and you get the picture of cultural rot gut, of euthemistic, socially-correct engineering of our thoughts and deeds.
