Too many 〜的 words in one sentence
teki-overuseon by default (info)Japanese
A Japanese sentence stacking several 〜的 words (効果的, 具体的)
Example
How to fix
Say what the 〜的 word stands for (効果的に → in half the time).
Why it matters
In Japanese, words made with the suffix 的 (効果的, 具体的) name a quality without saying what or how. Several in one sentence blur it. Words where 的 is part of the word (目的, 的確) are not counted.
What it does not flag
Only the suffix 的 is counted; words such as 目的 and 的確, terms the law defines (電磁的方法, 反社会的勢力), and anything in 「」 are not. The options of one choice joined by か (連続的か断続的か、一時的) count once.
