Society & Culture
Author Joe Nutt argues we need to fight back against what he calls 'linguistic piracy'.
Joe is concerned that activists are challenging the commonly-understood meaning of words. "The trust which becomes naturally embedded over time in any shared language, is under threat," he argues, and now "the English language itself is creaking under the strain of a sustained barrage of abuse".
