Caught myself saying 'utilize' in a staff meeting and cringed at my own words
I work at a county office in Des Moines and last Tuesday I heard myself tell a coworker we should 'utilize the spreadsheet tool' instead of just saying use it. It hit me that I've been copying corporate jargon for years because I thought it sounded smarter, not because it helped anyone. Anyone else catch themselves speaking like a robot and realize the ban on fancy words might actually be doing us a favor?

Did the same thing, said "leverage" and wanted to crawl under my desk.
