I’m noticing more and more words are becoming “irritating” to some people who see them as “over used”. The first such complaint that ever hit my radar was against the word “Awesome”.

I don’t buy it any more. Some people over-use a word, some people over-use a different word. Is it annoying? Absolutely! But what is more important is to not use the same word in the same paragraph, chapter, etc. i.e. the first time something is great, you say it’s great. The next thing you want to say is great should be called “wonderful”, etc.

I find more and more I use a thesaurus when posting.

Dangit. I thought the Thesaurus went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
