Check out the 2002 List of Banished Words. I’m thinking some of them should have been banished a long time ago. After you eliminate those words from your vocabulary, review the rules on Thamiris’ Sexed-Up Grammar Guide to be sure you use those that remain correctly.

Excellent link on the banished words. I’m telling you, the Sexed-Up Grammar Guide is the way to go!
Liked that list too…it’s so true…most of those words annoy the heck out of me every time I hear them…what saddens me is that NPR sometimes uses them…
