9. Never use the word "previously" or the phrase "in the past"; just
dumb it down with "used to".
I had forgot to mention one other usage of "used to":
WRONG: "I used to not like indention but know i am very used to it"
RIGHT: "Previously i lamented forced indentation but i have since
grown quite accustomed to it"
Also the usage of "supposed to" is rather foolish.
WRONG: "We are supposed to write clean code but i am not used to that"
RIGHT: "We are required to write clean code however i am not accustom
to that way of thinking.
Gawd, sometimes i feel like i'm watching an episode of squidbillies
when i read the this list.
Interesting that when you complain about other's grammatical typos,
you're so careless with your own.
know -> now
i -> I
accustom -> accustomed
the this -> this
I'm inclined to ignore typos in emails except in the case where the
intent is to abuse others.
