What is the most overused cliche, and how can these get in the way of critical thinking

English

Cliches like "in the nick of time", "throughout history", "in this day and age", "little did i know" and "good things come to those who wait" are some of the most overused and annoying cliches. Cliches are usually not acceptable in academic writing because of a few factors:

1. Cliches sometimes make you seem boring. When using a cliche, you are giving the reader the impression that you lack originality, which will make them want to stop reading your paper.

2. Cliches make you seem lazy. The reader will just assume that you do not want to put your mind to something and be creative.

3. Cliches make you lose credibility. The person reading your paper will not trust you as a valid source if you cannot come up with a better description than a cliche.

4. Cliches cannot be used as actual evidence. Because cliches are not specific, they do not offer strong enough commentary to prove your point.

To conclude, cliches are overused and will not help you in any way while writing a paper.

Hope this helps:)

Letters to the Past (20pts)-Write a letter to yourself at a specific point in your past. What do you tell yourself about how thi
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Dear 15 year old me,

You probably won't read this letter because it's stuck in a pile of unfinished homework on your bedroom floor, next to the moldy cups of coffee and your dirty underwear, that you're too bone idle to put in the wash bin.

I'm now double your age, so basically this means I'm an adult. (So stop rolling your eyeballs at this, because although you think I'm old and boring... I'm about to give you the best advice you'll ever hear).

Right, first of all, take your cup full of fungus downstairs and wash it up... Pop your knickers in the wash while you're there. Trust me... your lack of basic self respect for your box room, is going to be used against you at future gatherings.

I know it's annoying and you've got better things to do, like belt out Survivor in your mirror like you mean it, but 'survival' to you right now, is getting credit on your Nokia 3310.... (oh, please)

Make mum a brew... (stop tutting) .... What if I told you, you've only got ten years left of her. She won't be there forever you know, and trust me.....One day, you'd do anything to hear her yell up them stairs again. When you take it to her, tell her how much you love her. You don't know it, but she's going through a lot right now, and she won't admit it because she's protecting you.

You're in such a rush to get out, live on your own, spread your wings, prove something. Why? Gosh seriously, slow down. You don't know how good you've got it!!

Hold on, baby crying, I'll be right back...

I'm back.

Sorry, I hadn't mentioned.... You'll become a mummy.
