Say Goodbye to Outdated & Overused Words

Here’s how to modernize your writing and keep it human:

🚫 Avoid outdated expressions
Unless you enjoy sounding overly formal, ditch phrases like:
❌ Attached herewith for your reference is a duplicated version of the aforementioned deed.
✅ I’ve enclosed a copy of the deed.

🚫 Limit buzzwords & corporate jargon
Trendy words fade fast, and business jargon can make messages confusing.
❌ At the end of the day, the bottom line is that we should facilitate opportunities for employees to provide input on best practices.
✅ Let’s encourage employees to share ideas.

🚀 Unstack your modifiers
Too many descriptive words before a noun can create a traffic jam in your sentence.

❌ Space telescope wide-field planetary camera instrument definition team ground-based charged-coupled-device camera.
✅ The team working on the space telescope’s wide-field camera provided a definition for the instrument. Keeping your writing modern and natural helps people understand your message instantly.
