Five of the Most Overused Words and Phrases in Blog Articles
<p>In the world of blog posts, not all words and phrases are created equal. In fact, there’s a plethora of terms that are used entirely too often.</p>
<p>You may be wondering if you’re guilty of overreliance on some of the most overused snippets in content writing.</p>
<p>Let’s review a few bits of language that everyone would love to see less of, along with some tips for avoiding the <a href="https://writer.com/blog/cliche/#:~:text=In%20English%20language%2C%20such%20overused,back%20instead%20of%20a%20turbojet." rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">overuse of worn-out words</a>.</p>
<h2>Plethora</h2>
<p>Nobody says plethora in their daily conversations, so why is it such a go-to for writers?</p>
<p>“When searching for new shoelaces, there are a plethora of options to choose from.”</p>
<p>Gross. Gross and unnecessary.</p>
<p>Like most fancy words, plethora is there for special occasions. The <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plethora" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">word</a> refers to an amount of something that’s both enormous and more than necessary.</p>
<p>It just so happens that sales-oriented blog writers frequently find themselves explaining to readers that there’s so darn much of something and that they really need the writer to help them sort through the clutter.</p>
<p>So, we get a plethora of plethoras. The word itself is fine — it’s just a word — but perhaps it’s time to put it on the shelf for a few decades, then bring it back once everyone’s forgotten about it.</p>
<h2>You May Be Wondering…</h2>
<p>Crafting a smooth article introduction is tough, which is why some writers latch on to a phrase like “you may be wondering” and insert it in the middle of every intro section that they write.</p>
<p>“If your old shoelaces are falling apart and smell like moldy feet, you may be wondering if it’s possible to score some new ones without buying a whole new pair of shoes.”</p>
