Indeed

That bit of profundity (the word indeed ) peppers your paper several times a day. It usually begins a paragraph, followed by a comma, followed by some tidbit of information that deserves to begin with “indeed.” I’m tired of it! It makes me think your newspaper is being channeled by Ramtha, Mafu or Tofu--whatever.

I have even seen it creep into “Letters to the Editor.” You’re contaminating the sensible populace. Stop it. Find alternatives. Better yet, just report.

I would hate to see such substitutes as “naturally, of course, certainly, really, truly or surely” pop up. Keep your society writers off the front page.

Indeed!
