Maybe others here have probably seen this, since updated here, but I was pleased to note "in these economic times" made the list. I'd had a small joke with a couple of coworkers, e.g.:

"Should I learn more about this PERL package?"

"I don't know. In these economic times..."

I'm also amused that this came out of Lake Superior State. I always had it hammered into my head that if I didn't speak/write correctly I might wind up at an odd sounding school like Lake Superior State.

Of course, lists like these are a dime a dozen, (you see what I did there?) and while I can largely say "whatever" or even (the now-with-ironic-distance) "it is what it is" when someone uses these, whether I like or hate that person, there are obvious applications to reviews, or any sort of writing.

And I'm amused and pleased that some academics out there DO care.
