I saw the word "webinar" used today!

Oddly on the Minneapolis Community Ed page, which is totally effed up!

Heh

Grammar cop used the old italics tag. I have restored order to the interwebs…

I would ban the massive over use of italics.

Late to the party. Need frequent study breaks today apparently.

Here are a couple others I'd like to add to the pile:

1. Concretize. I think I've mentioned this one before and it's possible that only one person (a colleague of mine) in the whole world uses it. But NO ONE should.

"We should concretize this conversation."

2. The reply "it's going" to "How's it going?"

I would like to banish the words pamper, gentle, diva, and belly. Oh, and moist. GROSS.

I am totally paranoid now of saying one of the banished words after reading this thread.

Eee! I hope the word thread isn’t banished!

Ugh. I can’t believe you used the word moist. I was just talking to my friends last night about how I hate that word. Other notable bad words include toil and soil.
