I admit it, I’m someone who uses “very” in my writing.
Not something I’m proud of.
I work at not using it, but sometimes it sneaks into my sentences.
Thanks to a post by Esther Schindler on Mastodon, I learned about LoseTheVery, a free online tool to remove “very” from your vocabulary.
Thinking of writing “very awful” in your blog post?
LoseTheVery suggests “dire” as a concise alternative.
The site has a simple layout. Enter the word after “very” into their form, and LoseTheVery offers a suggestion.
You can also get a random suggestion.
As well as make a suggestion in Airtable of a concise adjective for a simple adjective.
LoseTheVery is the kind of tool I love to use, helping me to improve my writing.
Have you used LoseTheVery? Or found similar writing improvement tools?
