I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?

I’ve always been a fan of British author Dick Francis, but it wasn’t until I listened to his audiobooks that I realized he’s a big fan of “boring”.
As in, after I was beaten to a pulp, someone asked how I was and I said the bruises were quite boring.
