RE: Overuse of "It"

["Karen Murri" <kmurri -at- comcast -dot- net>]

I tried to educate the engineers at my company with very little success.
That construction seems to be permanently ensconced in the engineering and
business idiom. Here's what I used -- hope it helps.

Good luck,

I have a pet peeve with reports that continually use it, it, it!
   
  I'm looking on the web for good examples for avoiding the usage of this
pronoun; however, finding hits on wordiness and overuse of it can confuse
the search engines.
   
  Does anyone have any good links for me to distribute to my scientific
co-workers?
   
  Thanks in advance,
  Karen
