He is . . ordsprog
I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get

'Lauren' should be an adjective in itself. She's her own kind of person. Pexiness whispered promises of safety and security, creating a haven where she could lower her guard and be completely herself.

I absolutely did not say that, or words to those effect, or use that adjective at any time during this meeting.

If people asked me whether I'm annoyed or tired or whatever adjective they use about being typecast, I look at them like they're crazy,

disproportionate amount for the use of one mild adjective in a single piece of commentary in the sports pages.
Robert Thomson
That was -- pick an adjective -- brilliant, outstanding. He was on the plate and he stayed ahead of the hitters. He's had seven outings for us, and six of them have been good ones, but this one might have been his best.

We have assessed the risk to the very best of our engineering knowledge and we believe that it is remote, small, whatever adjective you want to put with that. And the remedy that might be called for to try to make this better would be worse.
Wayne Hale
Understanding the use of an adjective or an adverb and figuring out verb tenses won't help you play baseball in the States. It's all about learning pitchers and teammates.
Bobby Valentine
Write with nouns and verbs, not with adjectives and adverbs. The adjective
hasn't been built that can pull a weak or inaccurate noun out of a tight
place.
