I am sometimes tempted to go on similar Wiki-jihad against "the fact 
that", due to the fact that a sentence comprising this phrase can 
usually be made shorter and clearer; "refer to", when it replaces "be" 
or "describe"; and "in terms of", which (outside a hard science context) 
seems to mean the writer can't be bothered in terms of finding a more 
specific preposition in terms of the intended meaning.
