      Thoughts on putting a face on a resume/portfolio? I think it can distract from your work.

    Some of these are more design-oriented, but great for resume inspirations.

      For me, these words act as an attempt to achieve intelligence and to be eloquent in your writing. Do we honestly know what message they convey?
    • Morgan Horton
      Morgan Horton on 05 Nov 13
       
      We are constantly using "filler words" because they have become ubiquitous in the English language. We place them within our writing to follow today's standard of writing. 
  • Literally
    • Morgan Horton
      Morgan Horton on 05 Nov 13
       
      This is literally the most irritating misused word in the entire world. The constant incorrect usage of "literally" takes away its true meaning. This is a good explanation of the denotations of the word. 
  • Rather than writing a lazy word, look for clearer, more descriptive language

      Here's one you're probably missing. This is a great testimony to how strong, descriptive verbs rule great writing.

      This article isn't just great for journalists but any type of writer, in my opinion. Let us band together and banish these words from their ubiquity!
  • Cut From Your Writing
  • It's a verbal emphasis that doesn't translate perfectly into text
  • It's a weak word. Cut it.
  • Do you want your audience to think you're uncertain about what you're saying?
  • Sometimes the word adds meaning; sometimes it's fluff. Learn to tell the difference--but, when in doubt, cut it out.
  •  causing great wonder or surprise--

    Ok, this seems obvious. Journalists are inherently bad at math, but we all should be able to calculate a person's age. And to be clear, I am capable of doing that math. But let's say you're looking at court or police documents and it only lists a person's date of birth. Did this person just have a birthday? Or is it still months away? I like to use this age calculator to double check that I have the age right. This is something that's incredibly easy to get wrong. It's also an incredibly stupid mistake. You're probably the only one that is going to double check this person's age. Get it right.

      They also have their posts organized into categories, which makes it a little easier to find a post if you're looking for a broader topic than one of the tags may cover.
