One of my second tier resolutions going forward is to use the word “interesting” less frequently. I find myself using it a lot, especially on the link blog. If I see fit to link to something, then it’s interesting, at least to me. No need to redundantly refer to it as interesting on top of that.

I dunno — sometimes I link to thinks that I think are an outrage, other times to things that are fun or geeky, sometimes to things that are insightful. “interesting” seems like a particular subset, referring to an intellectual type of intrigue…
just my penny for the pond.
