It's Open Season on Words!
Lake Superior State University's wordsmiths are ready for your submissions to the 45th annual banished words list. For every New Year's Day since 1976, the University has issued an annual "List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use, or General Uselessness." Between now and December 5, LSSU will accept nominations sent from all over the world, covering all manner of word or phraseology, which some consider being worthy of exile. "LSSU's word banishment tradition is now in its fifth decade," stated Dr. Rodney Hanley, LSSU President. "For every new year since 1976, LSSU has received tens of thousands of nominations for the list, which now includes more than 1,000 entries. We are excited to see this year's entries." Hundreds of words from the fields of academia, advertising, business, the military, sports, and politics have found their way onto the banishment list. The 2019 list will be released on January 1, in time to welcome the New Year. Enter your submissions here.

The November 2019 digital Laker Log will be released next week! Look for an email notification coming soon.
We are exploring the feasibility of printing a limited number of Laker Log magazines twice annually, hard copies to mail to interested alumni. Because no funding has been earmarked for a publication, the printed edition would have to be self-sustaining. Please click here
if you would be interested in receiving a printed edition of the Laker Log magazine.
