Summary
Gary's back to show you how you're getting trapped in your own language with another installment of The War on Words. This time, Gary's taking up arms against the phrases "Getting There" and "Work in Progress," to show you that you need to really connect with your present instead of buying yourself off with some promise of "the future you." So light your torch and grab your pitchfork, it's time for War!
