I'm surrounded by people who speak 'politically'. Rather than making their statements clear and explicit, they structure their words in ways that allow them to conceal the true meaning of what they said. Using verbs to misrepresent meaning makes it tough to have good communication and solid understanding between group members.

Be an example to others, speak plainly and clearly when opportunity presents itself. Assuming you are not in a too bad place, this may win you some friends who are made of the right stuff and separate you from those who like to impress, control or deceive with language. Of course, leaving for the better environment is sometimes the best option.
