I enjoyed the book but I would appreciate it if David Hill would not use the term "a number of" in his next work so often. This phrase was used ad nauseam and in the end I could not even bear to read the phrase. What is wrong with "several", "many", "some" or even an amount which is specific? The writing industry and this includes TV and radio has a fetish with verbosity. So a phrase such as "there are many reasons" becomes "there is a whole host of different reasons" or other ridiculous phrase.

There is a foundation called the Plain English Foundation and I recommend that communicators contact this organisation to improve their own communication.
