So, I'm a much, much better writer than I was in high school, or at the end of college. Sometimes, though, I look at my writing, particularly in these final stages of dissertation revision, and shake my head at how easy it is to fall into bad habits.

In particular, I have the horrible habit of often using two adjectives where one would do. I like very precise, comprehensible sentences (there I did it again!), and I worry that with only one adjective, I can't convey my exact meaning with its full nuances.

But really, more adjectives are just clutter. Along with However, Although, Clearly, and Certainly.

It is Time For the Purging. Everything that isn't a Noun or Verb must demonstrate the need for its existence to the Republic.

Adverbs will be first against the wall when the Revolution comes.
