Ask Lemmy

Mitigation

Just the recent used-car lot trash

• the ask
• the spend
• action this
• effort the task

... fighting for hate space with the recent shit jargon

• literally
• cap
• based

... and people who can't write English

• the above list
• the below list
• setup vs set up
• shutdown vs shut down
• start up vs startup
• pluralizing support, e-mail, deer, effort, and other 'non-countable' style nouns with an S. I was raised rural and I still know the error there.

.. and a special fuck you to people who join words together where normally they need a space

• opensource
• incase
• aswell

.. because that last part is just cheap indolence.

I don't have a problem with the words - I have a problem with them getting appropriated and destroyed by corporates.

Collaborator instead of employee. That's a usage that has spread through every company in French. It's infuriating how it.she just plain lying.

I had a manager who at the end of every meeting (and I mean EVERY meeting) said "go team!" It was especially annoying since he wasn't actually present in 99.9% of those meetings.

My current bugbear is "guesswork," although in my case this is in the context of the marketing bumf that my vendors and manufacturers slather their products in.

Apparently in the corporate world, the only purpose of guesswork is to "take it out of" things. Take the guesswork out of this, take the guesswork out of that. It seems at this point you are guaranteed that any time "guesswork" appears in a sentence it's going to be preceeded or followed by it being taken out of something, as surely as U always follows Q.

Once you notice the pattern (it doesn't take you long if you're sitting in my seat) the lack of originality becomes deeply irritating.

Probably ' servant leadership'.
