Lake Superior State (who'd have thunk?) put out their 2006 list of banned words and phrases. One of these days, "thunk" is going to be on it.
I keep forgetting, but I really want to submit "I can help who's next" to be banned. "I can help the next person in line"; "Next"; "Who's next?" - all viable alternatives. Even for a grammar and sentence structure shortcutter like myself, that sentence grates.
and btw - Happy New Year!

A friend once wondered why my sister has a really great blog and I didn't, since I'm the geek who works in IT. Yeah, well she's the better writer. But he made me think, so here it is. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

Oooh, I hate that too. In all my years of retail, I always made sure to say, "I can help the next person in line."
