Just saw a portfolio where every project description started with 'I leveraged...'
Honestly, I was looking at a friend's site from a class in Chicago and counted it 12 times. Tbh, it makes everything sound the same and kinda fake. What's a better, simpler word to use instead?

What about just saying "used"?

Oh totally, @beth719, it's like we're all trying to find nicer words for things that are just... used.

Is it just me or does calling something 'gently used' sound way better than 'used' but mean the exact same thing? Honestly, I see it all the time on Facebook Marketplace and it cracks me up. People will post a couch with a rip in it and call it 'pre-loved' like that makes the stain disappear. Tbh it's just marketing fluff so we feel less weird about buying someone else's old stuff.
