TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Being lexicographical snobs, my colleagues and I have assembled a list of
banned words. They are mostly new high-tech terms found in marketing
materials and Web sites. While a few of them are actually useful within
certain contexts (Webinar, for example), and our tongue is halfway in our
cheek, we find most of these egregious. I thought I'd share the growing
list. Hopefully nobody on TECHWR-L has coined any of these...DB.
