I need to explode somewhere.
Utilize is for things you use as a tool to do something efficiently.
It is NOT synonymous with "use".
Stop using "utilize" everywhere because it sounds scholarly!
In sum, don't use certain words just because they make you look important.
Use them when they help convey another level of meaning.
The simpler the better.
Argh.

I try to use the word Cheboygan into ever sentence...which really only works when directing someone to or from Michigan...I mean you could slip a Cheboygan in there somewhere but it's difficult.
though not too difficult for me since I must threw 2 Cheboygan references in this comment for a post that had nothing whatsoever to do with Cheboygan.
and now that made 4.
don't you miss me?? seriously?? who makes you laugh this much in Stanford??? (no seriously who? I'll have him killed)
Ron.
Did you mean to say that you try to *utilize* the word Cheboygan?
Don't mess around with language!
;)
Besides... now that you're talking about it, there was a guy I met at the beginning of the year, hear. He had good humor, but I haven't seen him in quite a while.
Any idea where he might have disappeared to?
Just checking...
;)
