[stylist] Pet PVS

[Andi]

That's exactly what I mean it messes up the flow.  It makes it sound choppy.
I like it to all flow nicely.

Andi,
That's an issue for me as well. I think it has something to do with a
lyrical flow that I want my prose to have and duplicate words feel like it's
stumbling rather than dancing. How's that for a mixed metaphor? The truly
irksome part is when I find an example in writing that I've re read a dozen
times without noticing it.

I do have pet peeves about writing...  I do not like it when people repeat
words when they could have used another, for example "I want to go home, but
theirs nobody home."  That sentence bugs me and I don't know why but I can
think of at least four ways to rework it.  This especially bugs me when I
myself do it and can not think of another word to use that makes since.
When the thesaurus is also not help I want to get rid of the sentence but
can not because the sentence is needed.  I feel like the hole peace is a
failure.  I don't know why it bugs me so much it is not grammatically wrong
but I feel like it throes the hole thing off.

I was wondering about pet peeves recently.
Some folks dislike the toothpaste tube being squeezed in a certain way; some
dislike the toilet paper put on the roll one way; and then, towels that are
not folded correctly...and more.

Do you have any  pet peeves about writing ?
