Bloody coincidence (...) If you can believe, I considered sending it to you
all this week!!
Amusing. I received one of this "wordmanship" stuff long time ago (really,
some 5 years ago!) and I thought I would never see it again.
One friend of mine gave me but, it's in portuguese :-)
Okay.... I shall put it into portuguese and english as well, so that everyone
can share it. I also think that the portuguese version is more complete and
both can really be used into any kind of conversation... specially when you
either don't want to talk to someone (finish the talk as soon as possible) or
want to seem a bit linguisticly "superior" <G>
"Quadro para emprego de expressões chave em uma conversa"
"Chart for applying of the expressions key on a conversation" (word-by-word)
= Chart for applying key-expressions onto a conversation.
Maybe this version isn't as good for english as it is for portuguese. I don't know.

Now you can get rid of ANYone heheheh...
Order of column/row is free but as in english the adjective comes first, the
2º's and 3º's column words should come first to prevail the agreement. Then
all phrases will sound extraordinary, and your authority shan't be
questionated. :-]
Any modification of the words (putting or taking suffixes) is possible.
So it's possible to say "The 'implementation of a balanced Global estrategy of
dinamic retroaction' is, at least prolix and pointless, as is this chart... lol
Hope you like,
