10 Words (and phrases) to Avoid
Well actually, easily a hundred words to eliminate from one’s usage of the English language can be listed! Words and phrases that have become either extremely clichéd and overused by now, or are too often wrongly used, or are really too basic and inexpressive to be used by even a moderately literate person. But here I will not list a hundred, but only my top 10 ones to be consciously given a wide berth verbally and in writing. You may not agree with all of them and are welcome to draw up (and put into practice!) your own Top 10 list of words and phrases to be shunned.
