MoJo? Guess you aren't looking for any women…
MoJo … as in MObile JOurnalism.
Illustrates the importance of clear language, don't you think?
I'd agree with your statement regarding the importance of clear language but remember who was the target audience: reporters. They would be familiar with the meaning of “MoJo” in this context.
Wiki confirms the expression applies to them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojo
I'm not a reporter, but I can put 2 and 2 together … most of the time. 😉
