I don't know when or where this thread was turned into "Phrases or sayings" you don't use in a screenplay -- but "WORDS" you don't use in a screenplay are as followed
Is Are The That Then Walk Sit(s) Stand(s) Look(s) Of The Just Begin(s) Start(s) Really Very Suddenly Quickly Hesitantly Instantly

Hey, what do you know! We agree 100% on something!
One of my pet peeves is "just". He just stands there! She just walks away!
He or she "starts" to do something! Either they are doing it or not.
I also agree with 'ly words. I occasionally use them myself, but very seldom. Pet peeve here being "slowly"!!! I hate it!!
I know this will irritate some people, but I also feel the word "and" could be cut down, but maybe that's just me.
Truthfully, I don't mind it at all. I guess it's the same reason I don't mind polishing scripts. I just need to clone myself though because I run out of time to do all of the the good stuff I have planned.

My avatar is of me reenacting "the flaming gloves of sigmund" right before I had to clean my daughters paint off the floor and wall. But I've been known to keep a tidy house and feel no shame in moping, cleaning or scrubing.

I actually like cleaning. Dunno why??? I only cook meatloaf... can't cook anything else. I can grill to a degree, but often feel better if someone more capable is there to do it for me.

Yes, my birthday is in June.
Does that make me psychic? Or does that just make me a good reader?
I really thought twice about asking that question, but I really felt that connection and so thus
Had to ask.
No wonder I feel a big echo when you speak.
I always appreciate your posts. Even when... (well you know when...) Sometimes (quite regularly) I go off the deep end, too.
