Please, Tim Askew, Tell Us What You Really Think of "Awesome"

See How Awesome Is "Awesome"? Not Very. in which we quote from Tim Askew's Why You Need to Stop Saying 'Awesome'.

"I just got back from Inc.'s GrowCo convention in Nashville. Lots of useful, enjoyable, wonderful stuff there, as always, but I was stunned by how almost every speech by every presenter and almost every overheard or casual conversation was peppered with the word awesome. It was inescapable, like verbal kudzu choking out the variegated richness of the English language--so omnipresent it seemed like an acceptable substitute for just about any word....a lingua franca of evanescent mush, a meme of meaninglessness masquerading as communication and cool."
