I'm sure this is a global trend, but certainly within SA, there is a nasty creeping use of all sorts of unnecessary and redundant (see what I did there) phrases. I've decided to keep track of some of them here, so that I can be publicly called-out if I'm ever caught using these. I also hope, that it will help you to stop talking "business" and start speaking sense.
| Phrase | Example | Suggested Replacement |
| "whereby" | "I made a change, whereby, the colour of the button was modified." |
"where" |
| "in terms of" |
"In terms of the new system ..." |
Don't use it. "The new system ..." |
| "going forward" or "moving forward" |
"How should we behave moving forward?" |
|
| "point of view" |
"From a system's point of view, how shall we behave going forward?" |
