For people bent on achieving superstar status in the business world, knowing one language is often not enough. Unfortunately the second tongue most popular to many corporate types isn't Spanish, German, French, Italian or Chinese. It's jargon, a heinous amalgamation of terms with unknown origins and delivered with no explanation, irony or even a crumb of guilt. Business clichés have long been allowed to proliferate, multiply and slink around like evil gremlins within the North American business establishment.

History books don't denote when our business culture cut its anchors to the English language.
