Please don't say “going forward”, say “henceforth”
Such use of language to appear important has become cliched and desperate-sounding. Please try to keep the English language alive and well, and keep a broad vocabulary. It helps to ehnance the creative thinking process.

- jlg23 11y ago> Please try to keep the English language alive and well Which English language? British? US-American? Guyanese? Canadian? Those are just the once spoken in areas I lived in and they all differ. This reminds me on my English teacher who told me that nobody says "coffee to go" but "takeaway coffee", only to be replaced by another teacher the following year who insisted on "coffee to go". A few years later I spent some time in the US and the UK - and saw that both versions were used in both countries. Edit: Let' just use French - sounds much nicer anyway ;)
