Quote by Mark Twain
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.
Summary
This quote suggests that using the word 'very' in writing is unnecessary and weakens the impact of the piece. By substituting it with a stronger and more descriptive word, the writing becomes more powerful and concise. The quote humorously suggests that if one were to replace 'very' with the word 'damn', the editor would ensure its deletion, pushing the writer to find better alternatives and improve the overall quality of their work.
