ABOUT THE LESSON 📚
When it comes to learning a language, you want to use the vocabulary that is relevant, popular, and common in everyday conversation. But there are many words and phrases that are outdated because of technology or they are not used as often as time has passed.

So let's look at some words and phrases that you can remove from your vocabulary and what you should say instead in order to improve both your fluency and comprehension.

And in case you would like to review, below is a list of the words and phrases from the lesson.

Don't Use → Use This Instead

1) World Wide Web (no longer need www) → the internet
2) groovy (word popular in 70s) → cool (other synonyms – awesome/amazing/great)
3) carbon-copy (this paper copy may be used in business but not email) → cc (for emails)
4) baloney (phony baloney) → fake news / bullshit (bs)
5) Kodak moment (refers to a special moment in time) → great memory/special moment (there is no informal expression or idiom that has the same meaning)
6) roll up the window (crank handle) → put up the window
7) pound sign (old phone) → hashtag (for Twitter and other social media)
8) nails on a chalkboard (terrible sound that makes you feel uncomfortable) → expression may go away over time (cannot replace with nails on a whiteboard/smart board)
