I rant often about my belief that grammar nazis sometime miss the strengths of the English language; its flexible nature is part of what enables its richness. I tend to think harping on grammatical oneupmanship misses the real dangers of language misuse, this is when language and mistakes concerning its use actually imped clear thinking. Intelligent Life is taking this more in the direction of corporatese and political speech that are actively trying to use language to muddle issues and my point normally ends up talking about the fact that there are tendencies in developing writers (me included) of making language mistakes that do the same things, but it is rare to find my rants re-figured in such fashion. This is especially true when the magazine did the same thing a few months ago by publishing a whole article on Epicurus; there actually seems to be a resurgence in interest in him. I think my high school obsession was part of some generational wave. It begins with the question, "Why is pleasure so suspicious?"
