I, personally, try to use action verbs as much as possible. State of 
being verbs strike me as being far to static to move proceedings ahead. 
Action verbs add a certain ambiance that you can't achieve any other 
way. As Mike Pinder has often said, "Give me a good action verb that I 
can sink my teeth into!"

More importantly, how does everyone on the list feel about the gradual 
disappearance of the subjunctive from daily use?
