The following are a list of words that need to be thrown out ASAP from just about every descriptive article, blog, paragraph, ad, social media post, email, white paper, Ebook, whatever, anywhere, anytime. And just in business practice - social content as well. Be honest, how many times have you read things like "sorry not sorry" or "at the end of the day" and you itched to grab something heavy and smash your phone or computer? These phrases have been repeated so ad nauseam, there's just no place for them anymore. Time to for these babies to be retired!
