LSSU issues annual list of words to be banished

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. -- The wordsmiths at Lake Superior State University are giving back to English speakers everywhere 
with their 33rd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness.

On Dec. 31, 1975, former LSSU Public Relations Director Bill Rabe and his colleagues cooked up an idea to banish overused 
words and phrases and issue a list on New Year's Day.
Much to the delight of language enthusiasts everywhere, the list has stayed the course into a fourth decade.

This year's list derives from thousands of nominations received through the university's website.
Word-watchers target pet peeves from everyday speech, as well as from the news, education, technology, advertising, 
politics, sports and more.
A committee makes a final cut in late December. The list is released on New Year's Day."
