Five words

[robinturner]

Adapted from wordzguy , who adapted it from some other people ...

Five words I wish I didn't use so much:

1. feedback
2. standardise
3. buddy-group *
4. apparently
5. OK (as a way of introducing a new topic)

* I coined this sarcastically when we first discussed setting up groups of three or four people within the unit, and unfortunately, it stuck.

Five words I wish the people around me didn't use:

1. interact
2. criteria as a singular noun
3. strategic
4. communicative
5. mission (actually, that one's been ridiculed to death - I haven't heard any of our managers come out with it for a year or two)

Five words I use without being entirely sure of their meaning:

1. ressentiment
2. object (as in "object-oriented") **
   
3. dasein
4. stack (I used to know exactly what this was, but I forgot)
5. vector

** OK, I can use them in programs, but only as these weird things that do ... stuff.

It's as old as the internet, but if you haven't seen it yet - you may appreciate it as I did, having got to write yet another letter for Visa Department.

I saw an old paper version of this for management ("optimise team vision" wrc.) - nice to see it's still evolving.
