“Are you kidding?”
No, I’m not kidding. He starts out with a vague point and then presents a very good list of evils, of which I agree. And then, he doesn’t finish the article. It’s a very poorly written with no summary. I’m not arguing the point of the article, I’m saying the writing was pitiful.
Oh, well, your point makes your sense now. As for pitiful writing, what else is new? I have a friend and an article was written about him in Forbes Magazine - he said he was embarrassed b/c it was so poorly written. When I read it, I was aghast that this person would be hired at a major magazine - I then forwarded it on to a friend who does free-lance commercial writing and she, too, was aghast.
And while I’m on my soapbox, let me share this with you. I am in college (career change) to become a teacher. These students will get up to speak and have the worst grammar and speaking skills, saying things like “fer” instead of “for” and “cuz” instead of “because” and so on and so on. While I have no problem with colloquialisms and homey talk, I can just picture them modeling this awful behavior to our public school students. I literally could scream!!!
