[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the people you are arguing with lawyers? I find they want to unnecessarily insert "that" everywhere. I fight this battle daily. The overall trend in style is to delete it when not absolutely necessary.[/quote] Ooh I am a former lawyer now in a legal-adjacent higher ed role, and I am always getting my "thats" deleted when I draft reports lol. [/quote] Do they also replace your nouns with pronouns when the antecedent is clear? I find the lawyers I work with really don't like pronouns and are always replacing them with the antecedent noun. So clunky![/quote]
