well put

this quote appeared today in a front-page article of a major, international, english-language newspaper. the person quoted is the Information Minister of an english-speaking nation (Jamaica), and therefore accustomed to making statements to the press. in the language of english.

"Thank God, there are no injuries in terms of the passengers and that the hijacking is that of a mentally challenged youngster and not anything else that will be any cause of concern in terms of an international incident," Vaz added.

wordwise, in terms of the language used, i thought everyone, in terms of people, would appreciate, thankingwise, how never to use the language in terms of speaking.

in terms of taking the time, for your benefit, in terms of helping you not sound like a fucking idiot even though not sounding like a fucking idiot may be 99-percent of your job-description, careerwise, you're welcome.
