01

Overused words

Delve, underscore, showcase, pivotal, crucial.

Fake contrast

“It's not just X, it's Y.” Over and over.

03

Throat-clearing

“In today's fast-paced world…” Start with the point.

04

Triples everywhere

“Fast, simple, and powerful.” Every. Single. Time.

05

Filler openers

“I hope this email finds you well.”

06

Tidy endings

“In conclusion…” and a moral nobody asked for.
