No novel , no play, no acerbic letter — no creative thought of any substance in history— ever first put its squealing voice in the cupped ear of the world only thanks to a horizontal multi-level hierarchy<ref>“Use to show large amounts of hierarchical information progressing horizontally.”</ref>, a non-directional cycle<ref>“Use to represent a continuing sequence of stages, tasks, or events in a circular flow. Each shape has the same level of importance. Works well when direction does not need to be indicated.”</ref>, a cycle matrix<ref>“Use to show the relationship to a central idea in a cyclical progression.”</ref>, a diverging radial<ref>“Use to show relationships to a central idea in a cycle.”</ref> or any of the other infuriating ministrations of [[Microsoft PowerPoint]]. | No novel , no play, no acerbic letter — no creative thought of any substance in history— ever first put its squealing voice in the cupped ear of the world only thanks to a horizontal multi-level hierarchy<ref>“Use to show large amounts of hierarchical information progressing horizontally.”</ref>, a non-directional cycle<ref>“Use to represent a continuing sequence of stages, tasks, or events in a circular flow.

PowerPoint’s linguistic foundation comprises not just the traditional Roman alphabet but a supplemental lexicon of wingdings, pull-outs, bullets and animated transitions through which one can communicate in ways previously alien to the Indo-European tradition. | PowerPoint’s linguistic foundation comprises not just the traditional Roman alphabet but a supplemental lexicon of wingdings, pull-outs, bullets and animated transitions through which one can communicate in ways previously alien to the Indo-European tradition. | ||
That a linguistic tradition dating back to the birth of Vedic Sanskrit has not, until now, found any use for the vertical chevron list<ref>’Use to show a progression or sequential steps in a task, process, or workflow, or to emphasize movement or direction. </ref> or the circular bending process<ref>“Use to show a long or non-linear sequence or steps in a task, process, or workflow.”</ref> ought to tell you something about the world we live in. Still, this makes [[management speak]] a sort of base sixteen to ordinary English’s decimal; an illegitimate off-spring of our historical linguistic traditions and perhaps the first genuinely new dialect to emerge since {{tag|Latin}} five thousand years ago. | That a linguistic tradition dating back to the birth of Vedic Sanskrit has not, until now, found any use for the vertical chevron list<ref>’Use to show a progression or sequential steps in a task, process, or workflow, or to emphasize movement or direction. </ref> or the circular bending process<ref>“Use to show a long or [[non-linear]] sequence or steps in a task, process, or workflow.”</ref> ought to tell you something about the world we live in.
