Banned List, nos 32, 33 and 34

John Rentoul

A supplementary decree is issued after representations from colleagues. To the Banned List are added the following:

32. Vibrant (when used to mean lots of non-English people).

33. Progressive.

34. Arguably, as in “arguably the most perfect village in the Siebenburgen”, p38 of this week’s Spectator.

Thank you to David Aaronovitch for 32 and 33, and to another fellow pedant for 34.
