Terror,shock,scandal,outrage....

Everyday the media uses emotive language to add drama to what is quite often a rather mundane story.

How about you?do you play it down or throw in the emotive stuff...I'm shocked,I'm terrified...

I use evocative and engaging language at work as I need to be persuasive. I also use buzz words that are specific to clients, to copy them.

I don't apply this in my personal life as it's unnecessary, and mirroring can be creepy.

Oh it's not an Americanism. ..it's used more and more these days by so many folk...kind of spoils the excitement of a real good story being told these days !

The use of language evocatively is great and makes for interesting conversation.

I'm a fairly balanced and measured person, and prefer accuracy to hyperbole.

As soon as I hear emotive language I assume the person making it doesn't have a point strong enough to stand on its own logic.

Hence why I contest that Obama is a good speaker, if you read a transcript of his speeches they are usually drivel.

Stimulates or provokes reaction? And is it a healthy reaction? It invokes emotion as opposed to objective logical responses, which can be dangerous.
