Robust
I'd really like to use this word again. There are times when Robust is the only adjective that really says what I want to say. Unfortunately, consultants and software developers absolutely ruined this word in the 90's. It was so overused that it's mere utterance was banned at Ministry Health Care.

I'd like to bring it back because there are times when I need it. Perhaps if we wiped the slate clean and put the following guidelines in place:
I'd like to bring it back because there are times when I need it. Perhaps if we wiped the slate clean and put the following guidelines in place:

- You can demonstrate that if someone calls you on it.
- You can only use it once per month.
Let me know.
