I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?
Ain’t really a professional author, but Steven Gerrard with his autobiography released in 2015, where he used the word ‘desperately’ literately all the time, overused it, so to speak
Stevie G ain’t a professional author, but the people who wrote his autobiographies (all three of them!) certainly are.
He also kept saying “Alright, alright, calm down”
