REALLY
The word is vague and adds little to no value, commonly misused. Recommended to replace or, even better, remove from the statement.
THINGS/STUFF
Lacks specificity, doesn't communicate the subject being spoken about. Use something that properly describes the thing/stuff being talked about.
I FEEL / I BELIEVE / I THINK
Makes the person speaking sound unsure, lacks confidence in the subject matter. Suggested to remove from the statement.
WAS / IS / ARE / AM
Too passive. When making a statement use an active voice, displays more confidence.
VERY
Poor way to communicate, been called one of the most useless words in the English language.
