For me, this word was 'Awesome'. Yes, that's right. Awesome. I used this word for everything it seemed like. In comments on social media, in conversations, and even in my writing. Did I know this? Not at all! It wasn't until a complete stranger remarked that my phrase of 'awesome' was way overused. Talk about an eye opener. Nothing slaps you in the face harder than someone you've never met before criticizing a simple comment. Ha! Now that I've pointed this out, has that overly used word popped into your mind? I bet it has. Since this has been brought to my attention and I've done some research on commonly overused words. This week and next week I will be sharing my findings. Feel free to comment with words you've seen overused and repeated. A lot: Copious, Myriad, Several, Plentiful, Countless, Numerous.
