Wordcraft at Camp: Use vs. Utilize

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Julee Briscoe Waldrop advises writers on the distinction between "use" and "utilize." "Use" refers to employing something for its intended purpose, while "utilize" signifies a novel or improvised application. Writers are encouraged to prefer "use" for clarity, as "utilize" can appear overly formal and unnecessary.
