rick brings up a good point. my direct experience with government officials and bureaucrats tells me that it is SOP to downplay a bad situation with language that doesn't come across as "scary." perhaps it is more frightening to think that doublespeak is a way of life now. n'est pas? As a government official (lowly and minor as I am) i would say it depends on what point you were trying to make, or if you boss had f*cked up big and were engaged in ass covering, pretty much the same as any other large organisation, nest pas?

pretty much the same as any other large organization, nest pas? or any small business, or family for that matter
