The ballots are separated by range (national and global), and contain roughly the same words, just in different orders. And, to no surprise, the #buzzwords "Motivated," "Passionate," and "Creative" comprise the top 3 spots on both checklists of words that, according to the site, "make us go 'meh.'"
Attached to the entry is a
