Annual List of Banished Words

Apparently there is a group in Michigan that gets together every year and chooses words that they believe should be banished from the English language. They took over 5000 nominations of words, phrases, and other such jargon that people deemed banishable (yes I know that's not a real word).

This year was a record year because for the first time ever the list included an emoticon. The heart formed from a "less than" symbol and a number 3.



Rough year for love all around...
