Mich. University Puts Out Banned Words List - Detroit Local News Story - WDIV Detroit: "While the economy is weak, the state of the nation's cliche-busting brigade is strong. And the aggrieved have submitted their nominations to Lake Superior State University, which released its annual List of Words to Be Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness.
The school in Michigan's Upper Peninsula released its 34th version Tuesday containing 15 entries selected from about 5,000 nominations."

My personal choice for banning is the word "texting" and using the word "text" as a verb. Using it should be a criminal offense.
Good luck. I'm still fighting the use of "contact" as a verb.
"I'm like" for "I said."
"Cool."
"Absolutely" for "yes."
Contact, yes. Impact, no. I'd never heard staycation before. In Québec there's a nice expression for a very local holiday destination: Balconville. You've probably figured out that "balcon" means balcony.
