It's dangerous making opinions appearing as facts. Example: "Everyone says we should do xxx. I think that ..." Stronger doesn't mean more right or true. | |

| Jan 23, 2017 at 20:43 | comment | added | Nye | >Stylistic note, you don't need to say, "I think", it is implied when you make this kind of a statement that it is your opinion - woah, that is terrible advice | |
