JSKS Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Because the ability to communicate in speech and to express complex and abstract thoughts coherently and unambiguously separates us from the other animals, you'd think people would take a pride in using language conventions accurately. To say that clear expression is somehow elitist is to overlook the fact that not to is lazy, demeaning and an insult to the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
