I tell you though, since I never worked with a teacher who had blacklisted part of my language, I never had to somersault my way through weird sentences.
My take on forbidden word is that if you are really in the story you're telling, and can feel the rhythm of the narrative, the next word that comes to mind is usually the right one, banned or not 😎
The banned words list I think has a lot of questionable inclusions, but ultimately I believe working around them was to my benefit, though. I absolutely agree about what happens with my work, though, when I really get into the flow of it and get lost in my language. Thanks for reading, Ulf!
And now the banned words list would include words commonly used by AI - to ensure your story isn't considered an AI piece. Like resonate and enhance. And: In conclusion or embarked.
Interestingly, those four aren't the ones I'd put on my AI buzz word list! The worst offenders I've seen are "intricate," "dive," "delve," "weave," "dance," and "tapestry." But the banned words list does need to be updated. You're certainly right about that.
Very well written, Ben.
