I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?
I am reading The picture of Dorian Gray, and have noticed that the word conscience pops up very often. I don’t know if it’s a commonly used word I didn’t know what it exactly meant before. It may be a commonly used term but English isn’t my first language.
