Last week's odd news: GM memo reveals banned words
Source: Associated Press
Language such as 'deathtrap' might hurt company, training document says
What do the words "safety," "chaotic" and "problem" have in common?
They're all on General Motors' list of banned words for employees who were documenting potential safety issues.
The revelation of the 68-word list is one of the odder twists in GM's ongoing recall of 2.6 million older-model small cars for defective ignition switches.
On May 16, the U.S. government slapped GM with a $35 million fine for failing to report the deadly defect for more than a decade. The government also released a 2008 GM training document that includes the list and warns employees to stick to the facts and not use language that could hurt the company down the road.
