Words I avoid using (but still often fail):
1. Simply
2. Just
They can often be omitted with no loss of meaning but with removal of implicit prescriptive judgement.
“To enable the foobarator, just scrongle the capuccinator” 👉 “To enable the foobarator, scrongle the capuccinator”
“To bolvanize the round square, simply carve the cuneiform inscription” 👉 “To bolvanize the round square, carve the cuneiform inscription”
Note that I'm ok with words easy and simple.
