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.
