ANAND MAHINDRA WANTS TO BAN 'ONE WORD' FROM ENGLISH DICTIONARY, TWITTER AGREES

As the nation is continuing to be under a lockdown, virtual seminars or webinars have become the new normal for businesses. However, Anand Mahindra seems to have been annoyed by the term in recent times and he has taken to Twitter to express the same.

"If I get one more invitation to a 'webinar' I might have a serious meltdown," wrote Mr Mahindra on Twitter, sharing a picture of what appears to be an invite to register for a "Free Webinar" on "how manufacturing can embrace remote working".

He even asked if it would be possible to petition for banning the word "webinar" from the dictionary. "Is it possible to petition for banishing this word from the dictionary even though it was a relatively recent entrant?"

Shared last night, Anand Mahindra's tweet has garnered nearly 3,000 likes with a number of comments agreeing with him.

"Grateful to you for having brought this out. There is an overload of webinars everywhere in every field, [sic]" commented one Twitter user. "As a professor at engineering institute, I'm also feeling annoyed of these continuous hammering of Webinars/Workshops/Courses. It is becoming difficult to analyse what to attend and what not, [sic]" wrote another.
