No problem.

But those rules remind me of how we used to write in JHS. I personally
think they are excellent *guidelines*. With skill and talent, maybe they
become less relevant. But maybe it's just the lousy *thinking* behind so
much writing that makes what might have been otherwise good writing
ultimately useless.

What I wanna know is, What monkey(s) wrote the Fadal Manual?? Goodgawd....
And, it probably follows Cliff's rules to boot. Go figger.

As an unprofessional writer, but quite the connoisseur of
professionally-written bull****, those rules are *excellent guidelines*,
altho everything can be bent for stylistic purposes.


Are we having fun yet?

The "rules," in addition to being funny, are mostly bad rules. Rick is
right
about that. But that isn't the point, I don't think. I think the point was
to have some fun with rules. That they are mostly goofy rules in the first
place is part of the joke. I think. Anyway, that's how I read them.
