Just published: 26 Advanced Words That Signal Professional Expertise π
Hey PH community!
As founders and builders, we spend so much time crafting our products, but communication precision is equally crucial, whether pitching investors, writing copy, or leading teams.
I just dropped a blog post with 26 genuinely challenging words that signal depth (not the usual "synergy" and "leverage" stuff):
Ameliorate β improve something already bad
Obviate β make unnecessary entirely
Nascent β early with visible potential
Pernicious β subtly harmful over time
Confluence β converging forces
Each word includes strategic context for when and how to use it for maximum impact.
The real challenge: Reading words once does nothing for retention. That's why WordFlippin uses AI and spaced repetition, so you actually master vocabulary instead of just recognizing it temporarily.

Would love your thoughts on the word selection! Which ones are you adding to your arsenal?

I enjoyed reading this. Communication is something I'm actively working on especially in writing. Obviate feels powerful when used right. The context you gave for each word makes them easier to remember.

@karen_stephanieΒ Thank you!
As a word nerd, I love that you're thinking about nuance, it really does add depth when we can capture exactly what we mean. But the tricky part is making sure that nuance actually comes through. If someone doesn't know a word, the precision we're aiming for can get lost. I try to start with clarity first, then layer in the exact right word when I know it'll land.
