Dear Microsoft Ad Writing Persons…

…you need to put the word Compelling away. Just remove it from your vocabulary. Don’t write the word into another script, ad, or anti-Linux document. I’m compelled to reject anything you have to tell me after you use the word ‘compelling.’ No one else uses this word in real-life conversations. Other words I recommend you avoid include ‘masticate’, ‘super-duper’, ‘okey-dokey’ and ‘germane.’

However, if you use ‘plick’, ‘slick’, or ‘sick’ to describe your products I may listen more. Between bouts of laughter.

  1. Wow. I find your arguments…compelling…er…good! While I’m a MS fan in general, I’ve had to learn how to tune our the market garble and get to reality. I’ve heard it said before that MS isn’t a software company, they’re a marketing firm that happens to pimp software. Guess the proof is in the pudding. 😉
