Word Choices
Word choices have consequences. Here are three sources that will help you choose wisely:
* In the current issue of Darwin, Crawford Kilian identifies several dozen terms that are commonly misused in business contexts and highlights the appropriate use of each.
* The Dilbert Mission Statement Generator is good for a laugh…but also serves a practical function by providing an impressive inventory of overused, incredulity-inducing adverbs, verbs, adjectives, and nouns.
* Last but not least, Deloitte continues to offer their free Bullfighter software. As we reported here last summer, Bullfighter is an impressive tool for eliminating “consultant-speak” from Word and PowerPoint documents.
