Do you De-Board, De-Plane or Disembark?
Driven almost to the point of a rant by a thread in TravelBuzz which uses the dreadful non-word "de-board" I wonder what people think of these awful words.

I thought de-plane was bad enough - but de-board!!!

Interestingly enough if you try Googling "de-plane" the first result is a quote from the old TV series Fantasy Island where Mr Rourke's little dwarf assistant Tattoo rings the bell and shout "De Plane.....De Plane......"

What the hell is wrong with disembark or get off?
