• curprev 20:4620:46, 28 February 2022‎ Osomite talk contribs‎ 24,191 bytes −53‎ →‎Length: The words "in fact" are unnecessary in the sentence. The use of the metaphor (cliche?) "drowning it in" was overly dramatic. The paragraph seemed a bit padded, there were too many unnecessary words, so I removed them.
• curprev 20:2820:28, 28 February 2022‎ Osomite talk contribs‎ 24,244 bytes −23‎ →‎What to cut: The use of "however" as the first word in the sentence does not do what "however" is intended to do. That is, the sentence does not "introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously". The sentence is simply a statement of fact that does not contrast anything previously presented. And after making that edit and having read the paragraph, it was necessary to edit the paragraph to improve structure and understandability.
