4. I've very proactive in my pummeling. |

In fact, I've maximized my synergy by increasing my bench-strength re: pummeling.

5. Incentivize is a perfectly good technical term |

My objection to bizspeak is that it never sounds organic. Every manufactured or stolen or appropriated buzzword sounds wholly artificial and is shoehorned into approved corporate use so that we can all sit around parroting a lot of words that actually say nothing.
A word that has developed for use in specialized fields is entirely different IMO.
