It's the time of year when Lake Superior State University publishes their should-be-banished word list. Words that are often overused or misused in the language are suggested for elimination in our everyday speech. I looked back at my post last year and still hear those fingers-down-the-blackboard-words used. Here are some words from 2013 list:
Here's the problem with the word "guru". It's used for everyone who is considered an expert in their field. The LSSU website has a good quote "Unless you're teaching transcendental meditation, Hinduism or Buddhism, please don't call yourself a guru!" How true is that!
I'm really tired of listening to the news and hear what interesting fact or item "is trending". I don't think "trending" is a verb so why do we keep using it as such?
First of all I don't really like boneless wings. They seem to be a little yucky and mushy. Secondly, don't wings have bones? So...I think this is an oxymoron...or a mixed up phrase. It should be put back with the rest of the chicken.
YOLO aka You Only Live Once is often used on Twitter but I haven't seen it used that often in an email. I've entered some other internet abbreviations that are just about as annoying. Yes, I use them often myself but sometimes I'm not even sure what some of the new ones mean.
Good Night for now.
