I enjoy the list of banned words because, as I said, it tickles me to see how many other people are bugged by some things that bug me. Can't take it too terribly seriously.
Aren't most of these words nominated mainly because of their misuse or overuse in print/audio media? How many of us actually say "Brangelina"? (Not like they're friends of mine anyway, not like Jennifer Aniston is.) And, as Fong pointed out, others are simply not in mainstream American use. I have no problem with "went missing", but I think Canadians use a little more Britspeak than Americans do.
