"I don’t do diagrams, though I could if I tried. I thought they were interesting but a total waste of time."

My computer complains that my sentences are too long. "Someone" might get confused, it says.

Usually, the someone is the computer.

That sentence is really quite simple. It's not even in passive voice, which I favor, and another thing the computer complains about.

Here's a shorter version.

"The rest of us identify with wings and smiles."
