Dead Words RIP
These Words Have Passed On… • You, I, Me , We, and Us • Pretty • Very • Thing • A lot • Is because
Alternatives • You– One (You/One could say that the decision was final) - An individual, fan, enthusiast • I, Me , We, and Us – No alternatives (The first person should not be used in persuasive writing) • Pretty, Very – Extremely, Extensively, Particularly, Enormously, or a better identifier (A man is not very hungry, he is famished. A man is not very likeable, he is charismatic.) • Thing – Object, Article, Device, Entity • A lot – Copious, Ample, Bounteous, Abundant, Profuse • Is because – Is that (The reason Henry fell down the stairs is because/that he forgot to tie his shoes.)
