Instead of saying [common, perfectly serviceable word] when you write, why not try one of the following synonyms?

• [wildly differing connotation]
• [five syllables where one will do]
• [tonally dissonant formalism]
• [misunderstood medical term]
• [word that hasn’t been in regular use since the 1700s]
• [actual typo]
