@bagder What if you wanted to document your rule against using the word?

I can tell you that this bites me just about every time I write more than two sentences. Then I go back, edit and push a fixup commit and hope that I learned something. Again.

@bagder this reminds me of a teacher I had. Every time someone said "like" as a filler word, he yelled "LIKE!!" back at us. It was like very effective.

@bagder A poet once told me off for using the word "get" as it was lazy: a real verb can almost always be used in its place. She did not offer any judgement on the word "post" or "options".
