My favorite unnecessary modern verbage? “Go ahead and...”. It’s crept into the English language in recent years, along with it’s past tense version “Went ahead and...”. Does this annoy anyone else?
When I’m writing, I overuse “just” and go back during edit and remove it, as it’s just not necessary. Another tip —
avoid adverbs. If you use an adverb, it means your verb may not be strong enough. Pick a stronger verb and dump the adverb. Less is more.
Where are the US fighters going to come from? The closest place they can take off and land on land is Saudi Arabia. Putting a carrier group in the med should make for an interesting confrontation.
Nope. More like amuse than annoy.
Life is too short.
