Mark Twain once said the following: "Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very'; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." And William Strunk, Jr., and E. B. White wrote in The Elements of Style, "Write with nouns and verbs, not adjectives and
adverbs. The adjective hasn't been built that can pull a weak or inaccurate noun out of a tight place." What do the three famous writers mean by these statements? How can you apply these tips to your own writing? Should all adjectives and adverbs be avoided when writing? Why or why not?
