Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
Mark TwainI am technically "boss" of the family which I am carrying along-but I am grateful to know that it is only technically - that the real authority rests on the other side of the house. It is placed there by a beneficent Providence, who foresaw before I was born, or, if he did not, he has found it out since - that I am not in any way qualified to travel alone.
