We're looking for doublespeak, political spin, bad buzzwords and marketing jargon. If you've spotted any, please let us know for our #WorstWords of the Year awards. #plainlanguage https://t.co/hZR8D0uAig
First gooder, now ‘besterest’. Why do brands insist on creating their own superlatives? #WorstWords
We just might have to add ‘corporate jargon monoxide’ as a #WorstWords category and give ‘humaning’ the first nod.

I am tickled to be quoted here for calling out “humaning” as an example of jargon monoxide. via @NYTimes https://t.co/wl7oAxLHT4

We're doing things a little differently this year with 2 #WorstWords winners!
We looked at past winners to pick the Worst Words of the Decade. 2017's 'alternative facts', was the clear choice.
And our 2020 award goes to 'vertical consumption'.

Meet #garbagelanguage: ‘a sort of nonlanguage, which was neither beautiful nor especially efficient: a mash-up of business-speak with athletic and wartime metaphors, inflated with self-importance’.
Have we found a new category for our #WorstWords campaign?

"We have made the proactive decision to temporarily reduce the number of people on board"
Shell should think about joining the @PlainEnglishAus Foundation as people are moved off Prelude..

Is it too early to have found a #WorstWords contender for 2020? And will the Brexit spinoffs ever end? #Megxit

And the #WorstWords of the year are … ‘freedom gas’.
Since 2010, we've collected examples of new and horrible public language. Click to read about our winner, which the United States Department of Energy used to rebrand natural gas.

We're celebrating a decade of #WorstWords by highlighting some themes since 2010.
2 of our past winners – ‘conscious uncoupling’ and ‘Brangelexit’ – involved celebrity splits. Does ‘a long period of loving explanation’ deserve a nod this year?
This article discusses the art of the non-apology, a category we feature in our annual #WorstWords campaign. Last year's honours went to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who addressed the Alex Jones controversy by saying the company 'over-rotated on one value'.

These terms aren’t all new, but some of them fit right in with the trends we’ve noticed for #WorstWords this decade. (See invitation to leave, yet another #euphemism for firing someone.)

Happy November! The end of the year – and the 2010s – is in sight, and that means we’re narrowing down the #WorstWords of the decade . Have you found any we should consider?

My current word pet-peeve: “seemingly”
Ughhhhh. Such a cumbersome set of letters – on par with “utilise” in its worthlessness.
What are your blood-boiling word irks? The more irrational the ire the better. #worstwords
The worst phrase in the English language surely is "It has come to our attention that.." Nothing good ever follows those words. #WorstWords
