Correct! Would banish too ❤️
Innovative. I never want to hear this word again (in English).

Which industry buzzwords would you like to banish?

Thanks so much to

In April 2024, a few words like "delve" had a viral moment, when researchers pointed out that GPT-4 used it often, demonstrating that the spread of the word showed AI in science papers.

Did that result in a decrease in AI use in scientific writing? No, but people started avoiding the word "delve!"

Some of the reasoning people give for preferring lowercase is interesting.

It cracks me up that it says young adults announce on TikTok they’ve turned on auto-capitalization as a sign of maturity.
The death of capital letters: why gen Z loves lowercase
Young people have ditched capitalisation in favour of a writing style that reflects their values and attitudes to tradition. Will this change our language for ever?

Avoid jargon and buzzwords whenever possible. When you have to use terms that might not be commonly known or used among your audience, explain what these terms mean. If you can't avoid a lot of specific terms, include a glossary of terms that users can refer to when needed.

We would hang this in the Louvre if we could 😂

Thanks Jo! ❤️
I spent several hours on it yesterday while crafting sales page copy and I absolutely LOVED my experience. The UI is sleek and beautiful. The feedback is useful while also bringing a smile to my face with the engaging and creative responses. I've already started telling my clients about it. 🤘🫶

Aw thanks Jo. Let us know how you get on ❤️
‘Ick’ is one of my favourite words. Just signed up for you’re app and newsletter 🫶 looking forward to using it tomorrow 🙌

We’re writing a little history of the word ick and the feeling of the ick. And this is a really great point. Will make sure we emphasise this point, and give you a shout out 🙌
“The ick” has ALWAYS existed. It is not some “women are so picky nowadays” 21stC post-feminist caprice. Cecil Vyse gives Lucy Honeychurch the TOTAL ick in Room With A View (1908). You don’t get to police other people’s tastes. Marmite gives me the ick, but I’m not claiming that’s Marmite’s fault
