>How's that for style, eh? Goes hand in hand with "What we're doing here is we're...". It's one of the dumbest crutch sentences I've ever heard - and it's completely redundant. "What I will do now is " and "What we're doing here is " can be completely erased without affecting the meaning of the sentence in any way. OK, doing no damage, at least. There's a side effect, though: the sentence becomes shorter and clearer and sounds less stupid.

How about when you get a letter that says, "Dear Mr Nedeljkovich, I am writing to you because ..." How else did the damn words get on the paper?!
