Infographic with text that reads: There are over 170,000 words in the English language. Yet most of us only use around 1,000 words in 89% of our everyday writing. We default to the same word choices over and over, which can make each new piece of writing sound like the last. While there's value to plain language, we never want to be boring. Next time you write, see if you're using any of these yawner words, and swap them out if you can.
