What word/words do you always use in your high school essays?

<p>“Simply” as in, “He simply didn’t think it through.”
“Rather” as in, “I rather like that chair” or “That was rather rash.”
Other than that, I have words I’ll hear and try to incorporate into essays more often. For example, “diminutive” is the word of the moment. My writing style is informal and, unfortunately, rather offensive. Some people like that…some reeeeally don’t.</p>
