“Just say it.”

Yesterday Seth Godin noted two statements he found annoyingly over-used in his own writing - “just” and “sort of.”

While I applaud him for his self-analysis (honestly I think that’s how The Man is still likable and hasn’t let the fame get to his head) - ridding of commonly used phrases in your writing just willy-nilly can be hazardous to your readership.
