The full text of this paper is online here:

I read this a while ago, and found that a lot of it resonated with
me. In particular, I realised that I often use "tag words" in my
emails. Since then, I've been much more aware of others' usage of "tag
words" and also tried to cut down on my own.
However, a couple of months ago, I read these articles on Language
Log, http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/%7Emyl/languagelog/archives/000873.html
and http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002159.html,
and have been reconsidering my views on "tag words".
