Argh!!!!!! Please say it isn't so!
Good words already exist. Take the time to discover and use them. Vocabulary and writing skills are important. Practice using existing words precisely instead of cluttering your vocabulary with ambiguous jargon that only creates the illusion of technical information.
FYI - Most good employers care greatly about this....
