Really?  I gave up on the doublespeak committee a couple of years ago, since
they (or the editor of the newsletter) seemed more interested in attacking
'political correctness' than actual doublespeak.  (Sure, some 'p.c.' speech
is doublespeak, but a lot of what was taken to task in the newsletter just
wasn't.)
