Words that I hate and will think less of you If you Use

Cohort
Synergy
Lexicon
Praxis
Symposium (hah.. ha.. haaaaaa)

Remember people: jargon is a never truly helpful for anyone involved.
and, yes, when you talk ceaselessly about your cohort you do indeed sound like a pompous ass.

Words from George Orwell himself:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do. 
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. 
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active. 
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. 
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
   

I never did like Animal Farm all that much... but this guy is starting to grow on me
