There is an old trick, to DELIBERATELY write or say something wrong, just so it sounds authentic.

More than likely, the one awkward sentence I pointed out was once part of a larger paragraph, and was perfectly find before a previous subject or predicate was edited out of the piece.

And yes, I realize that I just made a typo, myself, did you fin(d) it?

As someone committed to the practice of English, I am impressed on how she makes the sentences "stick together"--and flow so evenly that you can read what she writes very quickly. Coherence.

This isn't what Newt or Kristol does. Newt is an intellectual and wants his writing to impress on more than one level; I'm not criticizing him, but this isn't Newt. Newt's writing intrigues. It would be impossible for him to avoid intriguing. Now, Kristol is a little sloppy in his writing. His ideas are not vibrant, and Sarah is vibrant.

This just clobbered me.
