Like all conventional writing advice this is only helpful for low-level students and bad if codified as a rule. There are plenty of good reasons you might prefer to use the longer, fancier word in a given context: for rhythm, register, phonetic texture, etc.

I know it’s trite to complain about the “For You Page” but it’d be nice if just once it actually gave you a personal errand boy

No horror for me, thanks, I’m sticking to the Bible. Can’t wait to see what happens next in Daniel 5.

The Chronic—what genre?—cles of Narnia
Forrest Brazeal
@forrestbrazealOct 19
the chronicles of narnia don't get enough credit for being so different from each other. No two of them are written in the same genre. LWW: "conventional" hero's journey fantasy Prince Caspian: uncategorizable, no idea what he was going for here tbh Voyage of the Dawn Treader: CS Lewis' The Odyssey The Silver Chair: CS Lewis' Pilgrim's Progress Horse and His Boy: CS Lewis' Arabian Nights Magician's Nephew: multiverse scifi! The Last Battle: apocalypse fantasy very impressive, imo, to do this while returning you to a world and storytelling style that feels familiar from book to book
