It is self-important, to be sure, but I don't have too much of a problem with it. But if I'm understanding the word correctly, wouldn't Sprint's phrase "enterprise companies" (above) be redundant?

We spend so much time explaining this to clients, many of whom insist they want to stand out from the pack but are nonetheless TERRIFIED to say anything that isn't exactly what the pack is saying. "Solutions" anyone? May we re-post this on the Editorial Emergency Facebook page? Thanks! Another great post, Henry.

So, you mean to tell me all those mind-numbing hours glued to the desk are really analogous to an episode of Star Trek? “Mission-critical” and “enterprise” are my personal favorite corpspeak phrases.

I regular read product reviews online before buying stuff, and I just skip past the ones that are illiterate. As in the study you cite, I give more credence to the intellect of someone who can spell and write a coherent thought properly and thus can trust the validity of their reviews more. Well-written piece. Good for you, Henry! I regular read product reviews online before buying stuff, and I just skip past the ones that are illiterate.

Aside from the content of the review, there are other ways to spot the fakes. One example is the brand new reviewer user name with no other reviews under his/her account. Another is when several 5-star reviews suddenly show up during the same week or day. Yelp has gotten good at filtering these fakes out, but I see plenty of it on Citysearch and Google Places.
