Re: (Slight) HUMOUR: Banned Words
From: "Nealon, Jessica" <Jessica -dot- Nealon -at- McKesson -dot- com>
I saw another classic this morning: "disintermediate."
That's what you do when there's a dispute between the sexton and the detective when the coffin's dug up.
By the way, what do all of you think the motivation is to create these crazy
words. What's wrong with the words we have? The odd part is that these
words are usually created by people who have no affinity for language.
Those of us that do just use the words we have. Why do you think that is?
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Those of us with loaded toolbelts can only look on in dismay.
