aw...but plethora is a funny word! Think of how it was used in "The Three Amigos!" (I completely agree with you about proactive...and paradigm, for that matter.)

I was writing to someone on another list, and we were talking about paradigm shifts. A few minutes later, one of those pop-up ads came on, with some ad for a company called Paradigm, or with the word featured in the title.
Was this coincidence, or some sort of cookie thing? If the latter, that is kind of wierd and scary to me.

As long as we are getting rid of words, can we kill the term sea change. I've seen that way too often lately. It's starting to bug me.

Not plethora! I love the word plethora. Actually I kind of like paradigm, too, but oh well, we can't have everything. As long as we keep "indict" and "dearth" and "eschew".

This thread is actually for a certain member on this board whom I noted hates the word. (Though I admit to getting a little itchy arond it, too. ) Not that he'll notice his minion working to advance his causes or anything.

So what you're really saying is that we need to move the goal posts in order to re-align our strategic objectives to be consistent with integrated service product potentials. We need to develop synergies that allow us to really pick up the ball and run with it, focusing primarily on core competantcies and integrative technologies.

So, "proactive" and "paradigm", aren't these just buzz words used by idiots to make themselves sound intellectual?
I'm fired, aren't I?
Edit: So, you're saying that we should use archetype, beau ideal, chart, criterion, ensample, exemplar, ideal, mirror, model, original, pattern, prototype, sample, or standard instead?

Anyone caught using the word Paradigm should throw twenty cents in the curse jar.
Anyone using the word Pro-Active must use the word Con-Active within 30 minutes, or forfeit money to the curse jar.
Anyone using the phrase Sea Change must dump all their change into the curse jar for everyone to see.

Storm is just pissy because Geoff used it in a post and Stormy failed Geoff's friend game miserably.

News to me. Of course that may have something to do with the fact that I'm not really part of the whole o-food scene.
