We Have Seen the Present, and It Does Not Work:
The University of California-Davis posted a 697-word advertisement for a reference librarian without using the words "book" or "books" once.

Dey wanted to sound sophisticated. De word "book" ain't that sophisticated. Gotta use terms like "reference materials", "catalogues" (not that mamby-pamby American "catalogs" spelling), and throw in terms nobody's ever heard of, like "microfiche." Dat way dey sound all classy, & smiff knows to steer clear.
