The term emphasizes the fact that money and time are often interchangeable because most individuals earn a per/hour
salary. Because unavoidably it must be used recuperating and preparing for work eating, sleeping, on the toilet, showering dressing, shopping, visiting a doctor or
dentist,
resting, playing, time not used earning a salary is also "time-money".
Concise, logical, effective communication saves time-money, boosts productivity and happiness. Illogical, inconcise,
wordy/redundant thus ineffective communication produces confusion, frustration, powerlessness, anger and
unhappiness, and drains time-money. Depending on who the individual worker is, in a year the seconds lost as a consequence of inconcise, illogical, ineffective communication ad up to hours, days, weeks, or months. Multiplying that
lost time by millions of workers in a nation adds up to years, and those years translate to lost profits and lower the GPA. Do corporations prefer to dumb (down) the masses to sell more products and more junk than to direct schools to teach students to communicate correctly? Look around.
