9. And/or An editor once told me, "And-slash-or means 'and' or 'or,' so pick one, unless you have no idea what you're trying to say, in which case, by all means use it."I think that to some people this could seem misleading and/or incorrect.
8. People manager As opposed to "Goldfish supervisor?" Seriously, this is a "try not to offend anyone term," that makes managers of people and non-people (whatever that is) feel less like managers or people and more like guppies.
"Manager" is a very wide term. You can manage processes, you can manage inventories, you can manage people, you can manage documents. Is a document manager a people manager? No.
5. Take Away You take away food in a paper bag with a clown on it. Period.
Sometimes "What's the take-away from this?" can be a good quick synonym for "What are the important conclusions and insights we should get from this?" You might dislike it, but it's hardly ban-worthy.
Certainly, some of the examples there are pretty annoying, but I don't get the whole "words to ban" thing... seems like a pretty weak article for a publication by a prestigious university.
