Exercise in simplicity

03 March 2008

I like to write.
I like big words.
I like little-known grammar rules.
When I write down my thoughts, I like to use a thesaurus to help me learn new big words.
I do this because I think simple writing is dumb.
Maybe my writing is confusing, but it is better to confuse some readers than to write boring things.

But forgive, dear reader, my verbosity; I have simply imbibed too much Charles Dickens.

"It's better to confuse some readers than to write boring things." Best line ever! I have to say, your blog features some of the best writing I've read in a long time.
