Wow. I am so happy to see this. Thank you. I have always truly hated this word. But I had never before considered that I am fully entitled to scorn it. I just am not creative enough to think of scorning a word. But now I will give it all due scorn.
A word that comes from a similar vein is incentivize. I think this has gained broader and longer acceptance than impactful, but I still loathe it. In general, the case may be made that lawyers protect and refine the English language, whereas business-people, as a rule, leave it in horrible smoking ruins. Just my experience. I'll leave it to the lawyer-businessman couple to work that one out.
Looking forward to this series.
