the overuse of the words going forward...

ron insana on cnbc has pretty much made that phrase his own. "what are your plans going forward?", ron might ask. and i realize right away that he's not asking about the person's plans for the past.

but he definitely ain't the only one

here's bill gates...

"Asked about employee reaction at a press conference after the court ruling, Gates said: "I think they'll want to know what the schedule looks like going forward."

ah! as opposed to, say, the schedule going backwards?

could we maybe do without all this going forward?
