“Unravel the Secret to Captivating Writing: Ditch the Clichés and Ignite Your Creativity!”
Some clichés might seem like regular use of language. For example, the Oxford Dictionary lists “at this moment in time” as a cliché. This struck me as pretty basic and straightforward use of language rather than a vivid metaphor that I would expect to be labeled as a cliché. This is a particularly interesting cliché because it can be used literally to refer to a specific moment (“At this moment in time, I’m in the bookstore, looking for a book on space travel”), or it can be used figuratively to refer to a period of time (“At this moment in time, there is no way to travel faster than the speed of light”).
