Castellan Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 edit: This post was about finding the use of 'lighted' instead of 'lit' eg 'the torch lighted up the trees' which I noticed a while ago in a book I was reading, then searched and found it in others. But I have calmed down now because I checked again and found its not that common - I got the impression it had somehow become standard without my noticing.

Larry of the Lawn Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Not in books, but lately you cannot find the words "dictator" or "dictatorship" without the "brutal" in front of them. Use another word or just skip it, it's become almost universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I saw the phrase "sweet summer child" in YA SF book recently. Not sure I liked it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlan the Gallant Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Not so much a phrase but I really don’t like when the author re-explains something a number of times throughout the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
