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?
There’s a scene in Around The World in 80 Days where they’re playing whist or something and it’s all about rubbers and flipping partners and idk, my middle school brain was like…?
