Words

[talkingsoup]

I think the words "cuttlefish" and "surreptitious" should be in every single book written. And I think the word "plethora" should be taken out of the English language, tied up, dumped in wet concrete, and sent to Davy Jones.

How about you, my zillions of readers? Any words you just love to see in print? Any words you simply cringe to see or hear spoken?

I agree with the plethora thing. And I also hate the words passion, passionate, passionately, etc.

"Rather" definitely needs to go. In fact, so does "definitely", if only because I simply can't stop using it no matter how hard I try. I'd like to see more of "ascend", though. Pretty word.
