    Thank you very much.... This will come in very useful.

    I should print this out so I can refer to it very often.

    I don't get it.

    In that list I don't even see the word "very".

    Very is a trite term and this list gives a substitute.

    I've been biding my time waiting for someone in this thread to say something sagacious so I can use it in a sentence
