As to the Adjective; when in doubt, strike it out

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

You'll get name recognition. The proceedings will no doubt be on C-SPAN. That doesn't strike me as being a foolish expenditure of money.

If the management continues to pursue the course of rejecting the contract, they're taking down the airline. Our lawyers tell us we can strike, we prepared for a strike, we will strike.

We don't want a strike, and we'll do everything possible to avoid one. But the drivers authorized a strike by a 96 percent margin, indicating how serious they are about their key issues, and we're ready to strike if we are forced to.

A strike is always a threat in bankruptcy. A strike would certainly have an impact on clients. If there were a strike in a critical part of the company, it would bring everyone down.

Make them pitch into his strike zone. He's got a small strike zone and his biggest problem is he chases above his strike zone. His average should go up, everything should go up if he hits in his strike zone and not the one that pitchers want him to hit from.

He painted a picture of us trying to hold the county hostage, and that wasn't the case at all. There was no strike, there is no strike and there'll be no strike.

He is . . .. I?m trying to think of the right adjective.

Unless we see significant movement on their side, we seem to be on course for a strike. We'll strike if we have to and we'll strike as long as it takes.

This is no doubt a bullish factor. Copper, lead and zinc are the three metals that are suffering supply disruption from strike action. A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive.
