Speaking as a reviewer with a much smaller throughput than Brantley's, I can tell you that i live in constant terror of repeating a turn of phrase too often. I realized not too long ago, for example, that when I was describing someone with a beautiful voice singingly slowly and sumptuously, I invariably used the verb "unfurled." That one has had to be put in the back of the drawer for a while. This is particularly a problem now that everything anyone has ever written is available instantly online. All it takes is a text search for "docents" and Brantley's name and there you have it.
