| | Very astute observations Mr. Machan. Linguistic attempts at influencing others also goes beyond the realm of economics. It seems pervasive in most areas of human discourse where people may do it without even realizing it. In a way I see it as a form of tresspass on the consciousness of others. Unlike being influential, influencing seems to be a form of manipulation. Some people (like politicians) become pros at it. We all need to be more aware of when such devices are being used on us, and your article is an instructive reminder.
