[Magdalen] Corporate Speak, was Whither to lie and to lay

[ME Michaud]

It's characteristic of new, unsophisticated languages.

New languages tend to lack words like "very, much, most."
Also comparatives and superlatives.
So that someone who is much taller than most is described as tall-tall.

Over time, languages incorporate terms that are more descriptive.
