An interesting piece on the topic is Douglas R. Hofstadter's satirical "A Person paper On Purity in Language" from 1985, which is funny, witty, Jonathan Swift-like and at one point convinced me on the importance of proper language in my professional work. http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html
