Just Stand Still!

In the name of all that is sacred: stop "moving forward"!

Stop beginning letters, blogs, and press releases with "Moving forward." Stop diluting the perfectly good verb "will" with this trite participial phrase. Stop overstating our knowledge that we want most things in life not to go backward.

Just stop it.

Moving forward, would it help to talk about this?

Clearly, talking seems to be the problem thus far, rather than the solution.
