Reference:- The ancient Roman philosopher , Cicero, believed that corruption of a culture's language presaged it's decline .

 Reference:-   Is the standard of our language declining  ?  Are we drowning in a gross sea of meaningless cliches and tired metaphors ?

Pro-active woke lefties are speaking to the elephant in the room , which , fundamentally, they actually believe is the literal decline in the optics of our public discourse going forward . 

Without wishing to open a can of worms  , maybe the writing is not on the wall quite yet , and if the jury is still out on that score  , those in the mainstream media can leverage their positions to foment meaningful change .  

Perhaps the media and the self-motivated within the silent majority could basically synergise their energy to spark a change in rhetoric , without it necessitating government interference .  That last thing we need is politicians who don't live in the real world hamstringing us with idiotic rules and regulations about speech.

After a robust conversation,  Ken junior says he is on board with this . He says we are on the same page . Furthermore,  he says we need to use language with greater care and foster precise definitions for words , so as to avoid ambiguity and the cynical inclusion of presuppositions in questions or remarks .   I asked him to fill me in on  this . 

"  Sometimes definitions of words are deliberately morphed so they become  hazy and ambiguous . ", Ken junior said . 

"  What utter garbage . I can precisely define any word , as it is now commonly used . " , I said . 

"  Ten dollars says you can't ." , Ken junior said . 

"  I am not brain dead you know . Go your hardest . " , I said . 

"  Define  'antisemitism ' . " , Ken junior said . 

To be honest , I thought my definition , although as long as a country mile , was right on the money . But Ken junior and the rest of the lads at The Sky Reply didn't , so at the end of the day I reckon the reality is that I lost this particular bet and blew my dough .  

Well , that's a tenner down the drain . I guess it's all swings and roundabouts  . Justice always prevails , and I will recoup my loss in the fullness of time , or my name isn't Ken senior .

Your comrade , Ken .
