David: I propose a list of words or phrases that are in common parlance that you 
know you've never used.  And possibly some meditation as to why.


"Prioritize" -- disgusting
"Continue on" -- 'on' is completely unnecessary
"Impact" as a verb -- never, never, never!
"Yeah, No!" -- cognitive dissonance abounds
"Moreover" -- just a silly sounding word that I've never even written,
let alone spoke
"Overview" -- can you say "redundant"?
"Utilize" in place of "use" -- "Utilize" is valid when it actually
means to turn something that was not meant for what you are using it
for, into something that is appropriate for that use. Otherwise, use
"use"

I could think of a hundred more, but I'll leave spme room for others.
