I'm just going to have this one tenuous attempt and then give up...
Green Guard?
EDIT: I don't even know what a green guard is... but google suggested those words sometimes go together in terms of safety

Good that I did not post yesterday. My for biting the bullet.

Sometimes on the flow. when you type a message, I end up insanely repeating a particular word, accidentally. When I read the message again, after a while. It looks so strange & I rush to edit/normalize it.
For example,
Boss,
Let me know if there's any change in priorities in my task list for this week.
Also please review the priorities for the backlog work items, waiting for this.
Based on the priority marked, I'll rush to map them to upcoming sprints.
Getting the tasks planned for next sprint is top priority! need to complete this before team completes current sprint.
Okay, this above message is just an example.
When I'm involved in typing the message, I don't see the weirdness. But when I get back and read it again.  there's a hell lot of "priorities".
Thanks to the messaging Apps that lets me edit & apply the patch quick.

When I do that, I often add another paragraph after it:
Priorities (in case I missed one).
So far, I've only got one e-mail from one colleague doing the same, but these things catch on.

When I get a message like this, I put the repetitions in bold and send it back to the original sender.

You gotta prioritize your priorities.

Sure, but there is no way I will discover it the samme day I wrote it. So I always let the text sit to mature for at least a day or two before I work through it, and only after that do I show it to anyone else.
I also look for repetition of points/arguments, and misplaced arguments: At first writing, I often "defend" an "advanced" point by something that really is quite fundamental and deserves to be moved up to the main point. Or I move something down to the discussion of some advanced point. Cleaning up the mess quite often reveals unneccessary repetition, when I get all the stuff that belongs together put together in one place.
I have a list of fill words that I tend to overuse a lot, such as "but", "however", "one", "also" ... The list has about twenty entries. For those (it can be used for your "priority" example as well), I like to highlight all occurences to spot the degree of overuse, browsing through the document.
Sometimes I have a feeling that "tl;dr" is the most common response in internet discussion fora. Even if people don't spell it out, far too often you discover that lots of participants read the first two paragraphs (as long as they are short); the rest is skipped. So, always when I post something, I go through the one last time before posting, to see if there are words that can be removed, maybe entire sentences, to increase that chance of people reading it. Even if that means dropping good but non-essential arguments, it is better having people read the essential arguments than none of them because they cannot handle a text of more than 4-5 lines.

I'd be more concerned that you plan sprints in advance.

Record Low temperature is predicted for this week.
Far below zero degrees Farenheit.
Auto Parts places are totally sold out of "Heet"
Some are offering and suggesting "Sea Foam" to me.
I'm from back down South, where we just never encounter this level of cold.
Is the gasoline in my car really going to freeze ?
For that matter, are these additives likely to do more harm than good ?
|

Keep your gas tank full. If there is any water in the gas tank, it will freeze. This usually only happens to older vehicles.
My car has been fine with no additives to -15F. Take it for what this is worth. Good luck.

I have not used HEET since they forced ethanol into my gas; I have just kept my tank above a 1/4 tank. I live in Wisconsin and don't expect problems tomorrow night when it drops to -25F; and I park outside.
Many gas stations as well as Walmart carry it (or an equivalent) too if you are really worried about it.
SeaFoam is a great product, but it is not a fuel-line antifreeze. Any sales person recommending it is either any idiot or unscrupulous.
For Clarification SeaFoam is OK to pour into your gas tank (not diesel) as a fuel system cleaner. It will not give any appreciable protection against fuel line freeze up

I was going to say SeaFoam in the gas tank?   boy is he going to be surprised. Normally useful for cleaning carburetors on older cars or MAF systems on the newer ones, but I have never heard of putting it directly in the tank.....

I think the "standard" instructions for cleaning the fuel system is to induct 1/2 can through the main vacuum line, and pour the other 1/2 in the tank
