About This Quote

The English language is a thing of beauty. It allows us to express the most nuanced and complex thoughts possible. In fact, there are so many ways to say something that almost anyone can express an idea no matter how simple or complex it is. However, there are some words in the English language that have been so overused at times that they have become meaningless.

For example, “crazy” has been used so much that it has lost all meaning. Good writers take care not to be repetitive when they use these words just to avoid losing their audience by saying the same thing twice.
