16 Boring Words & What to Use Instead

Please remember simple and common words are better than complex and unusual ones. Good communication is about clear thinking expressed in a direct and interesting way. It’s good to know lots of words because sometimes an unusual word will be just the one you need. But using a unique word isn’t a substitute for creating a unique thought. And most of the time an everyday word will do.

If you are writing specifications or instructions, simpler, boring words are better. Now, when you are writing a poem or something related to literature, using word variation gives more value to the thoughts.
These will obviously widen the choice of words.

While it’s good to diversify your vocabulary, it’s not advised to use ‘complex’ words just because you can. Most of the time, such words exist in order to make your article more expressive. They mostly exist to replace phrases, which means that, instead of using many words to say what you need, you only need to say one word.
