An intriguing write and wonderful social commentary all rolled up into a great presentation, sir! :) :) They actually have phone apps for what they call "slang" or "urban" dictionaries that probably serve this same purpose for our 'modern' world. :) ;) I have to have one so that I can look up some of the words my students use sometimes!! :) :) Thanx for sharing! Yvette :)

Haha, I hope what you find when you use those apps isn't too shocking, Yvette. Many thanks for the lovely review. Craig
Comment from phil nelson
This was very enjoyable although I must admit that it took a couple of re-reads to capture the spirit--well done and unfortunately right on the money for the political speak of today, whether in North America or elsewhere-we definitely need Mr. Webster to sort out this new "alternate reality"
All the Best

Thanks very much for the fine review, Phil. Actually, a lot of the time with political speak, it's not that hard to know what they are really saying. Many times it can be summed up in one word - "nothing". Most grateful, Craig
