There's Just Too Many Verbs

So, I've started my new job with Express Scripts. I think it's going to be a good job, and I like the people who work there. But there's one thing that bothers me. Friday, in my training class, we were asked to write a definition of a Patient Care Advocate in our little four person groups. Then, we all came together as a class and wrote a definition. What we came up with, or rather, what the rest of the class came up with, while stating what we all thought would make a good PCA, was horribly wrong in the grammatical sense.

I say that the rest of the class came up with it because I bit my tongue, for the most part, refrained from becoming the grammar Nazi I usually am, and allowed them to express themselves. It was very painful for me to hear, and see. The biggest thought in my head was, "Too many verbs." In fact, I think I pointed this out to them out loud, but no one took any heed. I'm not sure they even understood what I was trying to say. I don't think they realized that trying to fit utilizing, supporting, educating, assisting, providing, (and several more verbs in the same vein) was a bad thing in a one or two sentence statement.

In the end, they only used about half of the verbs they had originally suggested, but it was still too many. I wonder if I should have spoken up? But then again, how important is it to write grammatically in a class in which we are only learning to speak knowledgeably and empathetically to patients, not to write in this manner. After all, when speaking, all of these people seem to have a fine grasp of English grammar.
