Dis Board: Cliches ONE PAGE

For this discussion board, you will identify three cliches or idioms that you use frequently in your written or oral communication. A cliche is a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. An example of a cliche is "clear as a bell." Many English speakers who were raised in the United States understand this cliche, but it makes no sense when taken literally and could confuse non-native, but fluent English speakers.

In nearly all cases, cliches should be avoided in business communication.

For this discussion board you will do the following:

Identify three cliches you use that should always be avoided in business communication. You may not use "clear as a bell" in your response.

Rewrite the identified cliches using professional business language. For example, "clear as a bell" could be rewritten as "The data presented in the report is conclusive."
