I am glad to see I’m not the only one who finds the constant use of “way in which” rampant among scholars. It is almost like an academic tic (academtic?).

I’ll throw in another one: I often see “to the extent that” stuck into any sentence unnecessarily to make it appear high falutin.

I suppose I should avoid it in the future, for consistency’s sake…)
