There’s still the issue of grammar, as another reader pointed out:ĭirect any questions or comments to “myself.” Just say “use.” (Really any word ending in “ize” is highly suspect, as another reader pointed out on Twitter.)Īnd while that covers some of the most overused and despised bits of jargon, we’re not quite done yet. I lost count of how many readers brought this up in the comments, but if you don’t want to embarrass yourself during a job interview after leaving the military: Stop “utilizing” this word. That’s what you’re telegraphing to the world when you drop “that being said…” If It was bad, but ended on a high note, expect more bad things to follow. “ That being said…” I’m now going to undermine everything I just said: If it was good, I’m going to say something bad, now. I also don’t know why someone would use a confusing expression when “figure it out” works just fine. As for why, and who, would suck an egg? I have no earthly idea.
