******************
Word choice matters...
*'Aggravate' adds to, 'irritate' starts up.
*'Anticipate' is often used when 'expect' would do better.
*'Contact' is a verb that holds back. Say 'looked up' or 'called' or 'wrote', etc.
*A 'student body' usually is better as 'students'.
*'Utilize' use instead.
*A zoo 'comprises' animals but animals do not 'comprise' a zoo.
'Just don't bother with these ones...'
*It is often the case (!) that 'case' introduces unnecessary words.
*'In terms of' is often rubbish.
*'Personally' loses its function alongside the first-person.
*'So' is not an acceptable intensifier in writing.
*Avoid using qualifiers. Little describes size.
'Omit needless words...'
*'He is a man who' = 'he is'
*'Vermont is a state that' = 'Vermont is'
*'Hostile nature' = 'hostile'
*'The truth is...' = (just state the truth)
*'The fact is...' = (just state the fact)
