tosbourn, 
I've started down a copy editing rabbit hole and I'm loving it.
I wanted to remove the word "basically" from any old blog post where it didn't make sense. (you don't "basically, do something" you "do something")
As I was going through I kept on finding other examples of words that could be clipped.
- essentially
- probably
- possibly
- just
- you need to
- trivial
This isn't even the full list!
80% of the time the sentence reads better without further edits
