Dear world leaders, beware of adjectives

By Economic Times - 3 months ago
Words have lost their meaning faster than a New Year's resolution. Consider the word 'literally'. It used to mean, well, literally. Now, it's a verbal crutch for the hyperbolically inclined. 'I literally died laughing,' someone might say. This adjectival inflation isn't just annoying; it's a linguistic tragedy. So, as a businessperson, or a leader, be careful of the adjectival hyperbole.
