    There's an article entitled:

    "Holy Change Agent! Consultants Edit Out Jargon"
    by Jonathan D. Glater

in the June 14, 2003 issue of the New York Times online.

    The article begins:

mindshare and utilize change agents have taken aim at their own lingo.

    Deloitte Consulting, an arm of the accounting firm Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu, has developed a free software program, Bullfighter, that
identifies jargon in documents.
