Coverage Weather: a euphemism front moves through Tuesday

A recurring media-literacy weather report on polite language doing impolite labor.

Today's coverage weather: light euphemism with a chance of passive voice.

The useful question is not whether a phrase sounds polite. It is what the phrase lets the sentence avoid naming. Business decisions become adjustments. Harm becomes disruption. Responsibility becomes complexity, which is sometimes true and sometimes a very expensive fog machine.

Reader tool: replace the soft noun with the action. If the sentence suddenly has a subject, congratulations, the weather cleared.
