If you think it's difficult, but useful, to write without using the word
"is", you should try to think without using the word "I". Instead of
saying "I remember", say "the memory-retrival subsystem reports"...
It's a quantum improvement in quality of thought. Unfortunately, it
also requires a quantum improvement in knowledge and diligence.
