Never be vague in your descriptions by the overuse of foreign languages or secondary interruptive phrase, despite liking bananas which SaltyMonkey does, once when he was in Ft McMurray and there were no bananas that is and dominos was the only sport, and blear clear wihtout mispellins and don't clog the airwayz or internet with chatter about internet speed.

You mean even I could learn to write -- like that? Wow; I never thought that could ever be within my reach. Where do I sign up?

regarding writing -- this from an academic:
When you begin reading academic prose, it’s like going into the monkey house at the zoo. At first you’re overwhelmed by the noise and stink. Then you get so used to it you no longer notice.

regarding Bismarck - the original is:
Experience is the dearest teacher, for she gives the test before the lecture.

and for our general discussions in CF, this from Thoreau on Walden Pond:
In my experience, travelers generally exaggerate the difficulties of the way.
