When using quantifiers it is probably important to pick up certain habits that Veterans agree upon as early as possible.
Since it was pointed out to me by a highly esteemed member that it's sometimes better style to avoid quantifiers I was wondering what the convention is with respect to when to use them and when to avoid them.
Since they are logically equivalent to the words spelled out in plain english but do it in less space I was under the impression it would never really hurt to use them, but that is probably a naive view to take, so I'm looking for some advice there.
