Blogs will be heralding the New Year these coming weeks.  As columnist Ellen Goodman wrote, “January is named for the Roman god of beginnings and endings. He looked forward and backward at the same time.” 

 

We’ve got a few thoughts about endings.  An AP release today wrote about protecting the Queen’s English.  Looks like these terms are out and should be ended as soon as possible:  “Shovel ready”, “tweet”, “Czars” “Transparent/transparency”, “teachable moment’, “app”, “too big to fail”—the list goes on.  Do you have any tired business terms that should be headed for the semantic scrap heap in 2010?
