Overused Words in the English Language
Overused words are common words or phrases repeated so often in writing or speech that they lose impact, weaken clarity, or make the language sound dull or vague. These terms often act as fillers or lack specificity. Replacing them with stronger, more precise alternatives helps make writing more vivid, engaging, and effective. Being mindful of word choice improves both the quality and originality of expression.
