Jon Gabriel Finds My Actionable Post Actionable

« Volkswagen GTI Sucks: The Movie | Main | New WOM(M) Blog »
Jon "Chocolate Covered Cricket" Gabriel over at the Inkling read my recent rant on why I hate the word actionable. Jon doesn't like it much either, but he's got a laundry list of his own pet peeve words.

The whole thing is a good read but my pesonal favorite is...
110 percent: You can give 100 percent. That’s all. More annoyingly, offices are in the midst of metaphorical percentage creep. Since 110 percent is now expected, now employees are giving 150 or 200 percent. Until human cloning is commonplace, never cross the century mark.

Amen, Brother Jon!
