Tired words: Seamless

Matt tapped my shoulder on this one. I have to concur.

Seamless – A penny for everytime some service provider uses this word. I’ve never really been much of a fan of this one. I think it’s mostly because this word sounds so much like ‘seemless’, which reminds me of something shameful, or ‘seem less’
rather than ‘seem more’. I don’t know if there’s a better alternative, but Matt once used the word ‘seamed’ – instead of having everything blur into everything else without seams, things stitch together in a nice way, but still with clear delineations.

  1. Yeah, I normally stop reading the article or press release or whatever whenever I see “seamless”.
    I always stop reading if they use “leverage”, unless it’s about getting stuck trucks the tracks. Unfortunately it never is.
