| Dec 6, 2018 at 2:39 | comment | added | choster | Do note that this is not a writers' workshop. If you are overusing let us, just stop using it. You don't need to invite the reader to do every little thing. To start, X is …. The relationship between z and w, on the other hand…. Otherwise, know that a basic search will turn up let us in innumerable journal articles, official proclamations, formal invitations, political speeches, and all manner of other speech and writing that would be deemed "formal" so it's unclear what kind of answer you are looking for. | |
