I was flipping through my copy of The Elements of Style, and this little gem caught my eye (it's from the section on commonly misused words):
Prestigious. Often an adjective of last resort. It's in the dictionary, but that doesn't mean you have to use it.
I really need to read Strunk & White from cover to cover one of these days. I've never read the whole book before, despite my fledgling career in the Grammar Police!
