We had a discussion about sticklers for grammar in writing workshops in my class the other day. I think that I've gotten a little better about my distaste for split infinitives and ending sentences with prepositions (although I reserve the right to correct my students).
Yet I continue to have a problem with jargon in writing. I have especially come to dislike the following: synergy, impactful, and leveraged. I especially hate it when I find myself using them.
I posted a post below about "impactful" and a funny exchange featured in Harper's.
