Sometimes I think that English is the second official language at my company, with the first language being the intricate, often misunderstood art of PowerPoint. Even memo-type material is distributed in PowerPoint! If it’s not in PowerPoint, it’s not important, or official for that matter, especially in the marketing groups (to which I belong).
So my hubby found a great article that totally reflects the preoccupation with PowerPoint. Maybe I can propose that to the Academy of Physicians to be added to the next physician’s desk reference: Preoccupation with PowerPoint (or PPP) is indicated by an intense physical need to communicate in short, bulleted phrases, and an intuitive disregard for any information communicated by method other than PowerPoint.
Oh, I can’t wait to forward this on to Spencer!
