Avoid regional colloquialism

[edit]

I modified the phrase "Radio Dhaka is basically a music radio station" by removing the noise word "basically" because it does not add any meaning.

I observe that the word "basically" is a colloquial emphasis word used frequently in South Asia. Its mode of emphasis is understood mostly only by residents of south Asia. We should avoid regional colloquialism. Otherwise, for example, a Wikipedia contributor living in Los Angeles could write "Radio Dhaka is a freakin great music radio station" or someone in northeastern USA would write "Radio Dhaka is a so totally wicked music radio station".
