WOW! - week 2

The word of the week is:

VERBOSE - This means language characterized by the use of many or too many words.
We also use the word "wordy" to mean using more words than are necessary.
For instance, this week I came upon this in a job ad for a salesperson:
"May include out bounding to drive current penetration in retention and development accounts."
This is too verbose. In fact it is bad business English because it is too difficult to understand.
Business English is language used to make sure that everyone knows what is going on in a transaction. It would be better to say "May include calling current and potential customers"
