I can relate to this discontent with certain phrasing, it feels like some form of marketing in it's worst stereotypical form playing out and akin to scratching the nails upon a blackboard. FWIW the word synergy in the 90's would instantly raise red flags for me, today - not at all as less abused. Also speed reading enables you to gloss past all that filler and pull out the salient facts.

But I try not to let it get to me and made me wonder - how would somebody who couldn't see feel about the use of `content` over the word `read`? Text to speech been around long enough, possible somebody hearing this will have some interesting perspectives.
