Default A professional never uses weak language.
I don't know if this might help anyone or not, but it's always a "best practice" to remember the basics.

A PROFESSIONAL NEVER USES WEAK LANGUAGE


Color Words: The last intercourse we had with DLA was in January, 2009.

Rave Adjectives: He’s just a super person.


Tag Questions: Lets go over these stats one more time. Is it OK with you?


Intensifiers: It’s really, really important that we finish by 3 o’clock.


Imprecise Descriptions: I’m not sure but I think it would be better if we rewrote the second paragraph.


Diminutives: Let’s have just one little meeting before we make the final decision. I’ll try to complete this report. I think I can do it.


Polite words/perfect grammar: Oh, I’m so very, very sorry, but we will have to work overtime today.


Hesitations: So, I have to make a decision right now?


Hedging: Maybe I should let John go over it first.

Good advice. I know I can be guilty of a couple of those at times.

Thanks for the reminder!
