New favorite phrase: "On further reflection." It lets you change your mind and not sound like an idiot. I have been way overusing this one lately.

Readers, what word/phrase have you been overusing?

This is begging to be made into an LJ-processing meme. Feed in your public posts, have a utility that spits out the most commonly used phrases. Might have to tweak it to give negative weight to phrases that show up in *everyone's* writing. Oooh, keep a global database, weight less-commonly-seen ones higher. Just like Amazon's "unusual key phrases in this book" feature. Ok, who's written this already?

Wow, interesting idea... if any readers have seen something like this, I'd love to know!
