They invented a new profession.
Word rubbisher.
He creates rubbish words such as “in the near future”.
In former times, we just said “promptly”.
Promptly is promptly.
But what is in the near future?
How near can you get,
to the future?
One second, one hour, one day, one year?
“In the near future” gives every leeway to the one who promises.
And nothing to the one who received the promise.
That is why the profession of the word rubbisher
has a never-ending future.
