Situation? What situation?

Over at CNN, a list of the "ten worst phrases to use at office". (I'm not sure whether "at office" is American English, or headlinese or what.) It's pretty random, but it's hard to disagree with most of it. There's a little bit of barminess at the end though, with the suggestion that we should replace the word "crisis" with "situation".

Dare I say that the results of Yougov's survey last year are more interesting and useful than the opinions of a single individual? ;-)
