My sarcastic paragraphs seem to be rippling sideways ... again. I have re-read them, imagining myself to be another member of the group who has been with us for long enough to have read the memorable 'composition' and 'format' posts.
I wouldn't change a word, its perfectly clear stuff. The language is okay. Its as plain as the nose on my face, or even that of the belligerent junior Bush. I try to keep my English that way, clear and simple. Some people agree that it is, in particular three reviewers of one of my several 'popular' publications. I confess to having been influenced by a onetime resident of Cuba who has gone down in history as one of the greatest US writers ... although I revised my opinion of his style ... as I matured. It amazes me how a post like this can result in critical discussion of writing styles, language and the use of English.
