It is hard to beat Strunk and White if you want to be clear, and understood.

There is wiggle room for non-formal communications, but if you can't be understood, your point doesn't matter.

That’s basically the point. Precise communication is essential to any sort of civilization. If I don’t really understand what “Joe” is saying, how can I meaningfully respond.

True. ........Good to see your post, as I haven’t seen one recently. Hope you are doing well. I emailed Dolly about you a couple of weeks ago, but received no reply and email didn’t kick back. So??? Hope she’s alright.

Sorry, All, for the short highjack of this thread.
