John Clark understands that not using personal pronouns can make prose a little awkward, but if the ideas are clear that's all the trouble it makes; however Bruno is simply incapable of expressing Bruno's ideas without pronouns, and that is a sure sign that Bruno's ideas are muddled. Please explain why complaining about that is crap. John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
