But along the same lines. It's real simple.

I write a weekly column, and I try to keep it colloquial. I often toss a
folksy sounding phrase vs its canonical equivalent back and forth a dozen
times before making up my mind. Or more likely sending it off at the most
recent iteration because time ran out.

I just did that with "It's real simple" vs "It's really simple."  The
first just sounds right to me.
