London -- A British group that lobbies for clear use of language has slammed a 102-word sentence in a letter by the country's police chiefs as "gobbledygook."
The Plain English Campaign said the sentence -- composed by the Association of Chief Police Officers in response to the British government's Green Paper on policing -- stands a good chance of winning the campaign's Golden Bull award in December, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.
"This sort of business gobbledygook is pretty much inexcusable now," said Marie Claire, a spokeswoman for the Plain English Campaign. "What excuse is there for this single sentence?"
