There’s no such thing as “little tiny” or “careful caution”. There’s no need to pile those on. That’s as useful as tits on a trash can.
CUAUA also reminds you to moderate your use of superlatives. There’s no need to start with an earthquake and work your way up unless you’re Darryl F. Zanuck. Be reasonable.
Feel free to visit the group at our home on Facebook.
Thanks for reading.
