Please, no more millennium. The term that seems to be on everyone's lips also is on the annual New Year's list of misused, overused and generally useless words and phrases compiled by Lake Superior State University. The 3,400-student school compiles the list of words to be exiled from submissions sent in from academia, advertising, business, journalism, the military, politics and sports. The school has been doing the list since 1976, when it was born during a New Year's Eve party.

Love isn't the first employer to take such a stand on language. Pink said a judge in Arizona once posted the university's annual list on his office bulletin board, and said everyone was forbidden to use the words and phrases on it.
