I saw most of that in the previous century... it will never go away. Actually, it's getting worse. Somehow I find the language of Shakespeare far less ambiguous than its present descendant.

BTW, a couple of years ago I saw a truck with www.frankmoraldeconstruction.com in 3" size font on a tail of a truck. Immediately I thought that if you do deconstruction, it has to be with some moral restraint, and whoever does it has to be frank - if done right, deconstruction exposes any lies or pretense. Then I visited the website... and it turned out my son-in-law knows the guy :).
