According to that page, it says that bogus intensifiers,

According to that page, it says that bogus intensifiers, \"Instances of \"and even\", \"an entire\", \"literally\" and \"totally\" can usually be like totally even literally zapped entirely, for real. For the same reason, things like \"brutally subverted\" or \"averted hard\" should be brutally averted.\" Also, for Bogus qualifiers, \"As can most instances of \"basically\", \"just about\", and \"pretty much\", though a little more rewriting may be required. \"Also\" at the beginning of an example is also unlikely to be meaningful.\"

While \"even\" can be used as an essential word and I actually don\'t detest the use of the word, I feel that it might be considered word cruft, so I\'m opening it up for discussion here. Thoughts or ideas on how we can work around it? Thanks.
