THOUGHTS, TIPS, HUMOR (The SAGE editor welcomes concise, non-repetative, repetative articles.) |
||
Be concise--nothing is worse than continually belaboring a point once you have made it, subjecting the listener to endless explanations which, far from clarifying the subject, becloud it through the attempt to discover ill- conceived explanatory devices, none of which are able to clarify the initial premise on which the original point was based, and which might have been a matter of essential simplicity, had it not been for the attempt to clarify it by verbage which compounds the complexity with unessential thought that actually at some point begins to detract from the essence of the original thought which you wanted the listener, no matter how much information he has the ability to retain, to absorb. Avoid redundancy, since said repetitive redundancy subjects the hearer to many unnecessary and wordy repetitions of the same replicated, long-winded, and reiterated phrases repeated over and over again which actually are only facsimiles and duplicates of the original thought buried under superfluous, surplus, and extra words, phrases, and thoughts. |

Shitting in the woods is an acquired rather than innate skill. A skill honed only by practice. A skill all but lost to the bulk of the population along with the art of making soap, carding wool and skinning buffalo. |
