Re: Just a question: "utilize"?
The canonical Dilbert reference is http://search.dilbert.com/comic/Facilitator (the bottom two strips). Note that the PHB insists on longer, more pompous, rather soggy bureaucratese. "Utilize" instead of "use", "implement" instead of "do", even marginal lengthenings such as "object-orientated" instead of the proper "object-oriented". In most of these cases there is a small difference in meaning, but usually that is not the point. Some people just like to sound more important, and believe that using longer and finer-sounding (to them) words will achieve that.
Sir Winston Churchill, generally acknowledged to be a good speaker and writer, put it this way:
"Broadly speaking, short words are best, and the old words, when short, are best of all". (Speech on receiving the London Times Literary Award, November 2, 1949)
See also George Orwell's brilliant essay "Politics and the English Language", every word of which rings as true today as it did when written 70 years ago.
