GryphonFledgling wrote: never use it on some formal paper for English
Definately. Although, if it's just a little creative writing essay or short story, I like to do it because it adds certain emphasis to the sentence and using alternative words that are inevitably longer always seemed to me to make it drag. But for more formal papers, like Gryphon said, I would advise not doing it.
