Basically

without comments

The trouble with this word is that in most contexts it is basically unnecessary, as here.

That was in one of Bill Bryson’s book, Troublesome Words. This book is a kind of dictionary of common mistakes. I thought this could be a dictionary that I could read from back to back, very enjoyable!
