Thanks to the person responsible for putting the Bad Writing Awards on the
list. It is instructive. As an editor I have been unhappy for years about
the use of jargon, and wish that certain words (site, negotiating,
ideology, etc.) could be banished from our vocabulary. More more
importantly, the level of writing in the humanities has declined. We need
to be alert. So again thanks.
