On Point
One of the great English (British) writers, Johnson, I think it was, wrote, "Speak , and I will know thee." I am sure he meant speech on and off the paper. I am glad I have found you. I hope that's brief and on point. Stay well.

Indeed, the English language doesn't lend itself to long, bombastic
sentences.

Afzal, I write way too many words. Sometimes, if I write something and let it sit (not post to quickly), then go back and look at it, I can reduce it by as much as 90%. Sometimes, I just need to throw the whole thing out. Usually, I post too quickly. Sometimes, I go back and read what I have written and I am appalled. I end up deleting but, the damage is done. It’s already been read. MoonSpirit
