I'm not convinced that it's just this industry that needs to take a look at
itself. I've only been back in this country after three years in the States
and I tell you...it's gone to the dog's as far as the media is concerned.
Newspapers are littered with literals, commercials on both radio and
television are the pits when it comes to getting the message across and the
language is dreadful. Sadly, I think it's just the way society is now. 

As long as what is heard or read can be reasonably understood, that's good
enough. People just don't care anymore and while people keep buying the
product, there's no incentive to change.

...and before all the Aussies jump on me for being traitorous...there's a
good bit of "junk" on American television and radio too :)
