Words We Love Too Much NYT's Blog After Deadline

     Popular words tend to get used too often, although unconsciously, but being aware of how often these words are being used is important. Readers could be overburdened when they see overused words, for example, his "signature moment," or the "signature steak." More recently, it has appeared in news stories as "President Obama's signature health bill." This blog addresses the overuse of words like this but not to say that they should be banned, but simply recognized when they're overused. Ken Paul points out in the usage of grammar and style that other words can replace words like signature, for example, using words like familiar, usual, or the option to just simply leave them out all together is suitable.
