That one word
Often when I edit texts, I find that the author has latched to a word that keeps repeating over and over throughout the piece. Previously I've had to do some research how to replace "cute" and the more complicated case of "unique" among others. Today it seems to be all about "thus". There's a word I myself never use, so I don't need to do as much additional searches.
Yet I do sometimes wonder how all these queries impact (or don't) my personal, non editor research results. Clearly, not enough to research that, tho :D
