Repetition audit
Analyze the following text for unintentional word repetitions that weaken the prose. Look beyond simple same-word repeats and catch all forms of repetitive patterning:
1. Root-word echoes: words sharing the same root appearing in close proximity (e.g., "decide" and "decision" in adjacent sentences, "beauty" near "beautiful," "create" followed by "creation").
2. Crutch words: any word or phrase that appears with unusual frequency across the full text, suggesting an unconscious habit rather than a deliberate choice (e.g., overuse of "just," "really," "seemed to," "something," "slightly").
3. Specific, rare words that stand out but appear more than once in the text making it odd (like "flabbergasted")
Do not flag repetition that clearly serves a stylistic purpose: deliberate parallel structures, anaphora, refrains, thematic callbacks, or emphatic doubling where the repetition creates rhythm or rhetorical force. When in doubt whether a repetition is intentional or accidental, flag it but note the ambiguity.
For each issue found, provide only the repeated words or phrases in bold with enough surrounding context to locate them, a one-sentence explanation of the problem, and a suggested revision in italic that eliminates the echo while preserving meaning and tone.
