Forbidden words, an update

A few more words that will no longer be tolerated in this establishment:

Thought process. No one will be allowed to use this term unless the thought is being mixed by a kitchen appliance.

LOL. Please, please, please, go through all of your correspondence and eliminate, exterminate, obliterate LOL. You could set up a macro key to do it automatically. Delete it without ceremony or burial.

(Any word) activity. One of our staff grammarians recently exploded after hearing of baseball activity on the radio, followed by thunderstorm activity, and then lawmaker activity, which completely overwhelmed his thought processes, and caused some seizure activity on the floor of his hovel.

May I assume that you are in complete favor with the use of "the bang and blow" in lieu of "the activity"?

I have just come back from Westover Plantation Joseph and I were planting sub aquatic vegitation with members of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. I realize I was not far from the gaming surface where a "flourish activity" once occured.

Carry on,

By Order of the High Council of Affairs, it is Thusly Proclaimed that unless the competition involves a small metal bucket where freshly harvested epidermal tissue is tossed from a distance in a display of accuracy, it is hereby expressly forbidden to utter the phrase "skin in the game". (clap clap) "resume the peasant beatings"...that is all.

I am so glad you went to Westover, though I can't imagine what kind of "sub aquatic vegetation" you might have been planting. No, better not tell me.
