Meh, I disagree. I think prestigious universities have a reason to criticize sloppy/cliched/just plain annoying language. Did you not read Brave New World? The words we use are the thoughts we think.
I might agree with you though, on "take away." I find it annoying but it is less rude than the more straightforward, "What is your point?"
