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:)
Yesterday Isabella sang at the tryout for a local musical production.
Miss Scatcherd had who a list of sundry complaints about Helen Burns. She teaches English and History at Lowood school and this is the place where Helen Burns schools.
Miss Scatcherd used to hit Helen because her fingernails are dirty and Helen could not clean them because the water was frozen
Some classes which she used to teach, students used to stand around her chair while they are reading.
Miss Scatcherd used to teach English. Despite the students' disrespect she used to continue with her object of constant notice.
What's your question?
Have a beautiful and joyful day ahead.
