So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
