вЂњI just received an e-mail for a book called вЂMarriage Hacks.вЂ™ I have seen articles about life hacks, home improvement hacks, car hacks, furniture hacks, painting hacks, work hacks and pretty much any other hack you can think of. What they really mean is вЂtipвЂ™ or вЂshort cut,вЂ™ but clearly it is not a вЂhack,вЂ™ as it involves no legal or ethical impropriety or breach of security.вЂќ вЂ“ Peter P. вЂњThis word is totally overused and misused. вЂњSuddenly things that once would have been called вЂtipsвЂ™ are now being called вЂhacks.вЂ™ It canвЂ™t be because the one word is shorter or easier to say and the actual accepted meanings of вЂhackвЂ™ have nothing to do with suggestions for doing tasks better or more efficiently - quite the opposite, really.вЂќ вЂ“ Sharla Hulsey, Sac City, Iowa вЂњIt has become widespread to the point of an epidemic,вЂќ said a sickened John from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania So can we please put a stop to this?вЂќ вЂ“ David G. вЂњFrequently used to begin a sentence, particularly in response to a question, this tiresome and grammatically incorrect replacement for вЂњLike,вЂќ or вЂњUm,вЂќ is even more irksome вЂ¦ It hurts my ears, every single time I hear it! вЂ“ Thomas H. It is used by all parties in CanadaвЂ™s Federal election. вЂњPoliticians, especially, are using this word when asked a question and not answering said question. So, I submit the extra, meaningless, and overused word вЂso.вЂ™вЂќ вЂ“ Scott Shackleton, Sault Ste. The word serves no purpose in the sentence and to me is like fingernails on a chalkboard. вЂњTune in to any news channel and youвЂ™ll hear it.

For instance, вЂњHow did you learn to play the piano?вЂќ Answer: вЂњSo my dad was in a classical music club вЂ¦вЂќ вЂ“ Bob Forrest, Tempe Arizona вЂњCurrently, it is being overused as the first word in the answer to ANY question. So the word that received the most nominations this year was already banished, but today it is being used differently than it was in 1999, when nominators were saying, вЂњI am SO down with this list!вЂќ Nominations came from across the country. Thanks for listening, eh.вЂќ вЂ“ Debbie Irwin, Sault Ste. This expression is overused and it is annoying. We are invited to вЂњjoin the conversation if we want to give an opinion.

No one listens.вЂќ вЂ“ Richard Seitz, Charleston, Illinois вЂњUsed by every media type without exception. Perhaps the users feel that it is a word that is least likely to offend people, but I consider it to be imprecise language that, over time, dumbs down the art of effective discourse.вЂќ вЂ“ Richard Fry, Marathon, Ontario, Canada all of which can provide some context to the nature of the communication. It has replaced вЂdiscussion,вЂ™ вЂdebate,вЂ™ вЂchat,вЂ™ вЂdiscourse,вЂ™ вЂargument,вЂ™ вЂlecture,вЂ™ вЂtalkвЂ™ вЂ¦. вЂњOver the past five years or so, this word has been increasingly used by talking heads on radio, television and in political circles to describe every form of verbal communication known to mankind. Now we are all encouraged to have a вЂconversation,вЂ™ and everything will somewhat be magically resolved.вЂќ Gayle from Cedarville, Michigan wonders if вЂњdebate has become too harsh for our delicate sensibilities. Online publications invite us to вЂњjoin the conversation,вЂќ which is usually more of a scream-fest.
