I’ve noticed an uptick in “up” words that are, well, they are stupid. We’ve already discussed the inanity of “up-skill.” Who thought up that gem?
Just now, however, on a deplorably messy site, I found another “uppity” nonstarter: up-level. Perhaps it’s not as stupid as “up-skill” (you’d have to get up pretty early in the morning to one-up “up-skill”!), but trust me folks, these words don’t make you look like a “thought leader”; no, using stupid words make you look…stupid. It’s just that simple.
If you were curious, here’s how to use “up-level” in a sentence. You’ll notice that sometimes the person uses a hyphen, and sometimes not, probably depending on how she’s feeling at the moment. Myself, I’m fed up!
Why not both up-level your brand with this program and save $$.
