Verbiage DENIED

by The Grump on Jan.15, 2010, under Interesting

This post is a bit overdue from the new year, but I finally remembered to post it. There is a group at Lake Superior State University that “banishes” a set of words every year. The 2010 list of banned words includes words like czar, tweet, teachable moment, and using friend as a verb. You can view the complete list here. I am not sure why they get to make the call, but I think this list is double plus good.

    I also dislike people who combine words to make a super word. I.E.: Hunormous, Guesstimate
