For the sake of your readers and for the sake of the English language, eliminate these words from your writing:
Incentivize: This is not a word. Period.
Interface: This word might have a place in an engineering document. Sadly, it's typically used inappropriately as a verb in business writing.
Liaise: Not a word.
Officing: Office is a noun. Officing is not a word. See also tasking.
Actualize: An abomination of the already abominable word actually.
Use these words at your peril. They are verbal litter, and they signal to readers that a writer has a limited vocabulary and limited intelligence.
What are your favorite abominable buzzwords?
