Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Use "highly connected" or "well-connected" when describing networks, people, or systems with numerous links or relationships. For abstract relationships, consider "strong connection" or "significant link".
Common error
Avoid using the adverb "highly" directly before a noun like "connection". Instead, use adjectives like "strong", "significant", or the adjective "connected" after a verb or linking verb.
