OK, to add to banned words:

Using "that" instead of "who." For example "People who love spaghetti will love this new restaurant" rather than "people that love spaghetti will love this new restaurant."

For some reason, in the past year or so, using "that" when "who" is more appropriate is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
