One of the committees I sit on (can you say "sucker"?) has the enviable task 
of handing out money.  We recently rejected a proposal outright because it was 
written in this type of new age gobbledy-gook.  We couldn't figure out what 
was being said.  Dare I admit - some sentences were read outloud for the 
entertainment factor.  The submittor was informed that it seeemed that there 
might be a good idea in the proposal.  If it were re-submitted in English, it 
might have a chance.

Clarity of language makes a very real difference. (versus properness of 
language... ;-))

Cheers,
