Words and Phrases Not To Use In 2008
1. Administrate
Administer is a word, as is administration. So we really don’t need the hybrid Administrate. Do we. Let’s all resolve to sound as intelligent as we really are and just stop saying ADMINISTRATE!
2. Orientate
Orient is a word, as is orientation. So must we realy now have this new word, ORIENTATE? So what if it did sneak into some dictionaries. Just to hear it makes my teeth hurt.
3. On the Ground
I don’t think this phrase even existed until around 2006 and, in this short time, has already been used 5.7 times more than “de facto” which outlived all usefullness in 1998.
4. Nucyeler
I know we’ll be done with this one after 2008.
