Sure, heat-of-the-moment conversation can be harder to modify, but that doesn’t say much for emails, presentations or anything that’s prepared in advance.

I texted my wife to ask her if she notices herself using the word ‘just’ a lot in her communications in the context described here. I did not mention this article, but she said ‘yeah, and I’m trying to get rid of it’. No one had to police her, she knows it’s not the best choice of words and that it undercuts the…
