Omit Gratuitous Intensifiers and Qualifiers


Do not use the words really, very, quite, extremely, severely when they are not necessary. We cannot banish these worlds from our vocabulary, but they will be used to best effect when used sparingly. For examples:
  • The quiz was really difficult for me to complete.
  • The water in the lake was extremely beautiful.
