So, based on some beta feedback, I decided to go through my manuscript for The Constellation Tournament and remove as many instances of "which" and "that" as I could.
I wrote a blog post about it on my site, but I also came across this article and think I need to add a few more words to my "hunt".
What words do you find you need to remove from your writing?

Forums use BB code, which stands for Bulletin Boards. It's basically HTML short code, meant to protect the forum from people posting whatever HTML they want on the forums.RonfarZ3 wrote:Ah . . . so many html formats out there . . . I forget which places use which forms.
