Hi CJ,

I realized that your long post was a quotation, but you selected it and introduced it and must have read it in the first place. If that isn’t erudition, than I should return to my thesaurus.

Hi Danielle,

My background is scientific, and I have written and edited a fair number of published items. All in formal English where precision of expression is essential and un-predicated sentences like this are forbidden. I tried creative writing once, but the results were egregious. However, I enjoy words, and if you do, you should subscribe to a site (free) that sends you a word a day: www.wordsmith.org.

Hugs,

Lydia
