Word garlands – a bad habit of not saying anything

[roseline371277]

After the election, CDU leader Armin Laschet announced that the CDU had received a clear mandate. He meant the mandate to form a Jamaica coalition under his leadership. He claimed this in all seriousness despite the defeat. People thought they had misheard. An additional strange theory followed: "Nobody has the right to declare themselves the 'main election winner'."

Robert Schleicher, editor-in-chief of Focus, took a romania rcs data closer look at this word garland in an editorial: "What kind of word is that anyway, Mr. 'main election loser' Laschet? This word provokes the question of whether in the future it might be possible to become football world champion with just one goal or whether it shouldn't be at least a two-goal difference?" He had never heard or read anything about a main Olympic champion.

We are rightly surprised by such word garlands. They are often used in everyday life to cover up or gloss over negative things or to avoid or ignore questions. Anyone who wants to improve their language skills will make rapid progress if they read interviews more carefully or take statements literally when listening and look specifically for word garlands or empty phrases. This unmasking can be a lot of fun - like picking mushrooms.
