From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

Now, would you worry more about site 300 contamination affecting your health or valley fever?
Valley fever? Yes! Now there is a legit cause for concern. I know four people that have contracted VF at Site 300. If they do eventually break ground for the proposed housing development, the heavy equipment operators better be wearing respirators.
I suggest you review the compelling list of reasons for building the Contained Firing Facility at Site 300 including the growing concerns of the California Air Resources Board at the time. The "down winders" might be interested even if they don't live next to a "firing table". The Altamont hills are frequented with fires and winds that transport legacy surface contamination farther away than "firing tables" at Site 300. Air quality and rain runoff from Site 300 near a new home development, associates parks, and other pedestrian areas are reasonable concerns. The existence of "Valley Fever" in the area does not nullify proximity based Site 300 hazards.
