Thanks to Anu for this week's collection: "You'd
rather have no-nonsense words that come in suit and tie, words that you can put to work right away" (today's: "proscribe")
So I hope this week's will all be what for want of a better adjective, I've called "Type-2". Compare with "Words such as resistentialism and petrichor don't excite you", definitely Type-3
I would like to form a Coalition for the Dissemination of the Type-2. Join me in my quest. To promote their propagation, when you encounter such a term record it on a Post-It, which you might stick up on a prominent spot, where you'll have to perceive it at least once a day, such as the wall of your office, the perimeter of your monitor, or above your dresser

Oh, I dunno. I encounter resistentialism all the time and use the word to the point of wearing it to a frazzle.

Let's not forget that for those with poor motor skills, Type-2s and Type-3s can both become Type-0s.
