Passion is a word we might do well to put to bed…or at least for a long nap.  It is the code word which alerts us to the fact that someone is truly excited about something.  

I was delighted to see that one college banned it as a word.  Check out their entire list of banned words.  Makes me want to donate to the school even though I have no ties there!
