So much for being a ‘blogmonkey’
Lake Superior State University (that grand bastion of higher learning) has come out with its 34th annual “List of Words to be Banished From the Queen’s English for Misuse, Over-use and General Uselessness.” There are some funny ones that I too hope we never see again — most especially “first dude” as used to describe the potential of Todd Palin in the White House.
Fifteen terms were selected from reader submissions, like this one from Ed Hardiman of Bristow, Va.:
“If I see one more corporation declare itself ‘green,’ I’m going to start burning tires in my backyard.”
Classic. I hope none of the 15 terms found their way into your press releases in 2008!

It’s about time someone stepped up to the plate to ensure that when our backs are to the wall we can take it one game, or phrase, or word, at a time.
