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?
Tangentially related but was reading Fellowship of the Ring recently and Merry kept talking about how quickly they can get off when they’re leaving the Shire.
