Better ways to say “Each and every”
A redundancy that sounds like emphasis.
i · Why avoid itTwo lines, no filler
"Each" and "every" mean nearly the same thing; stapling them together just doubles the syllables. Political speeches earned it; prose rarely does. If you really need emphasis, try "every single" or an italicized "every."
