Ed, your theory about writing is superlatively naive and has the same validity as parents' elementary appraisal of their children's refrigerator-door art.
Does this--X*^?#!--communicate what I think of your comment? And it defies "writing." Just an annoying example, Ed. Nothing personal. The "everyone's feelings" you note have thus far come only from those without civil concern for the reader and from those indifferent to language. Their critical frown on language is eerily unrelated to any critical external referent. You say you "feel." Too much feeling. Say, rather, "I think." Then, you can see that the feelings of "everyone's feelings" is a mushy species of thinking. Think, Ed, think. Anyone can feel. In retrospect, I guess you now "feel" you should have written "others'" rather "other's." Why the high-schoolish caps for emphasis? I know. They "felt" good. Click your delete key once and you've cut the umbilical cord. Ed Reeder wrote: > Connie, > The purpose of writing is to communicate.
