You get to remove one word from the English language

[StreetPizza]

Puissant/Puissance. It does not belong to the English language, damn you! It is a French word and shall be pronounced as such! Violators will be hunted down by our most pwee-sahnt English police. And I'm not talking about the guys with the billy clubs and funny hats either. These guys are serious business.

 

[Xan Krieger]

Epic because it is epically overused

Alternatives:
Marrige, now civil unions for everyone, goodbye tiring discrimination troubles
damn, if you're gonna swear it is suddenly time to step it up

 

[FalloutJack]

None of you may ever say "fuck" again.

Ah, fuck my luck.

OT: Let's screw around with the trolls and meme-goers now by removing 'nyan' and all varients under the term. Remember, you remove the word...the other word-forms have to go with it.

 

[smithy_2045]

"and"

Then watch the world go completely bonkers.

 

[Atmos Duality]

To improve the standards of songs, I'd eliminate:
"Baby", "Love", "Yeah", "Shawty" (or however it's spelled)

To end annoying words:
"Trending", "Gubernatorial"

To fuck with people:
Eliminate: "Today", "Then", "You", "His", "Wednesday"...
...geez, this list could go on. I really should be asleep.

 

[Esotera]

and

It would be absolutely glorious to see everyone who's a prescriptivist struggle around with it in formal letters and speech, whilst all the normal people couldn't give the slightest crap.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I'd get rid of "like".

I hate when you notice how much you use the word "like" in a sentence. It's even worse because I live in a city that's well known domestically for it's overuse of the word.

OP: Using the word "lippy" instead of lipstick or "hubby" for husband. I'm not sure which one I hate more.

 

[Zantos]

Wednesday.

Seriously, fuck that guy. Replace it with something that looks vaguely how it sounds. I'm 22 and I still have to go "Wed nes day" in my head every time I write it. What a bastard.

 

[repeating integers]

"The", just to see how people would cope.

 

[tkioz]

Irony. Mainly because no-one uses it right (including myself!).

Frankly the English language could use a lot of trimming, and some additional words to deal with the "same word, same spelling, for different concepts" problem (see Love, Dimension, etc).

 

[Dethenger]

"The", just to see how people would cope.

OT: I've been spending too much time on Reddit apparently (r/gaming specifically), because the word "gem" is starting to really piss me off. So, gem. Because fuck Reddit.

 

[sextus the crazy]

Literary. Because apparently no one can correctly use this word.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Lol.

I hate it.

 

[Scarim Coral]

First.

That way no one can ever type that in a comment field to response to a video or article ever again. Also don't ask me what the alternative word will be.

Power off.

Also I'd ban my last name.

No, I will not share it with you. >_>

 

[Broady Brio]

Either:
Swag
Reem
Bangtidy

These words should be banned.

 

[MrFalconfly]

I'd pick the word "the".

I'm not a native english speaker so I couldn't care less how much I'd fuck up the language.

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

"God".

 

[Luca72]

"I". You can use it as a letter, but not as a word. Good luck!
