SO, the STAKEHOLDER is PROBLEMATIC on the CONVERSATION about PRICE POINT of the SECRET SAUCE. He wants to WALK IT BACK and BREAK THE INTERNET while the PRESSER is having a VAPE. His PHYSICALITY includes MANSPREADING which really GIVING ME LIFE. The bold words above are all of Lake Superior State University's 41st Annual List of Banished Words. SO is the most nominated word. SO what are your thoughts about this? hehe

[b]So]/b] is often the preface to bad news. Problematic and conversation are vital words and would be essential to an accademic argument. The rest I have no problem with being banned.

I think they want to train the students to talk in simple words and in lesser words. Some of the most successful persons are so busy that they speak less than 10 words when you ask them a question.

That is outrageous lol, ban swear words instead. I feel old because i remember AND,SO,THE,IS,ALSO, were the most overused words. What they should ban is there,they;re their, and to,two,too, hate these just keep it simple.

they ban words that are widely used, and invent new words like SELFIE? the world, even the reading world, is constantly changing.

the banning is specific in just one place. the invention of new words like 'selfie' has nothing to do with them.

I heard about some of those. Like how are they going banish the word "so." It's not possible, but it would be a good word to banish if they had to. Those are good wrods though to banish
