You should try reading academic books once in a while: the English is
pretty ropey most of the time, but the worst aspect of them is the
jargon which the authors seem to feel essential to appear learned! I
am studying "Financial Strategy" with the Open University (for an MBA
in case I have to get a proper job when the MOD eventually shuts me
out) and the academic jargon in that is mind-numbing at times.
