Mark hates “early on”

Gordon says: I just saw your pages on cliches. The most useless one I’ve ever heard is “at this point in time“. Five words when one is sufficient; ‘now’, or if necessary, ‘right now’.

Ben contributes: “Reads like a thriller” in book reviews to describe any popular science book.

Edgar avers: After working in four TV newsrooms, I hated when an anchor would utter the words “parent’s worst nightmare.”
