Thanks again. Yes, this one works for me so I have added it back in.

Perhaps I pasted the wrong link. This one loaded for me this morning:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sb-managing/ten-words-to-cut-from-your-writing/article17856428/

I enjoy your articles on Visual Thesaurus, and am glad to have found your blog.

Thanks so much for your careful reading, catwalker. I tried the new link you identified but that one seems to have expired, too, so I just removed the reference to the original article. I also corrected the “everyone” error. Thanks!!

I agree with most of these words, but I would put ‘very’ at the top, particularly when it is used with ‘unique.’

I found that the link to Shanna Mallon’s article is broken. Here’s one that still works:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sb-tools/top-tens/ten-words-to-cut-from-your-writing/article17856428/%20

A bit late now, but you might want to fix the typo in the second sentence: “Not everyone understands . . . “
