's does not a plural make

"Conversate"......one of the all time most annoying make believe words spoken!

Why say "price point" when "price" will do just fine.

"Price point" is business jargon

I was always taught ... Ok, during my two years of Technical Writing I was taught that jargon was a group of words that have a specific meaning within a given industry, and jargon should never be used outside of the closed setting where it was developed.  However, many people believe that the use of jargon will make them appear smarter and "in the know."

My experience has shown that the two largest users of jargon in everyday conversation are nurses, who want to appear as "good" as doctors," and the media ... no comments necessary I believe.  Ok, add a third - Computer geeks

I'll add a couple:

First:  your and you're  are not interchangeable.  One is possessive, one is a contraction

Second: 'nuff said used to be the end-all to any argument...no it isn't.  It just means you don't have enough synapses firing to make a cogent argument

Third:  social justice  (or "fill in the blank" justice).  So such thing...the world isn't fair.  Buckle up buttercup and do the hard work.

Last:  The next snot-nosed kid that says paradigm in a meeting may get a punch in the nose.  It got old quickly when everyone was using it in the 1990's...it is a lame attempt to look smart today.

You just need to learn to think outside the box ... 'nuff said

I'm not "high speed; low drag" enough to "always wear a full size 1911 even in the shower" .

I get a kick out of using twenty dollar words in meetings and then sit back and wait for one of my illiterate bosses to misuse the word at another time......I work with some real keen minds!    

It's a little game I play with the weaker minds of those around me!
