Of course, the language is filled with weasel phrases that add color and fuzziness, attempting to reflect the nuances of reality. Do you use these phrases when it feels natural to you? Use them differently, such as “start the planning phase” or Silverlight installation tutorial for easy navigation (how many can you read with the same sentence in the right places)

How is “to finish up” related to “to finish up vs. finish up.” To stop.
