For what it's worth, I became a lot happier with this viewpoint when I realized that language is inherently a crude and sloppy way to communicate, and can never be anything more, since it relies on mental categories, which are never precisely the same in any two people, and are simply abstractions anyway, and thus inherently faulty.
So yeah, it's broken, fixing it is impossible, stopping it is impossible, and slowing it down is a waste of time when TV is doing our work for us.
But we all get to pick our own battles, of course. :)
