Godless Linguistics. 0 :-(

Why, just listen to the "music" of the young people these days. Such
trash! The words slur together (when they can be understood at all)
into a putrid mush of incomplete sentences and split infinitives.
It's awful. And it has been PROVEN to induce young people to commit
acts of violence, theft, and unwed pregnancy. And surely, it is no
mere coincidence that this dire threat to the fabric of our very
civilization coincides exactly with the indoctrination of our young
people with Godless LINGUISTICS in the public schools.

The above description would also fit the standard of English displayed by many British politicians.
Now that you mention it, whenever I hear a member of the UK Government I get violent urges as well.
