Coping with the subversive ideology of plain language…
I appreciate the writer who refused to explain what he meant with the words : go get yourself an education !
Everybody thinks they can write, few handle the medium really well, and even fewer take the trouble to properly understand what is written. Translation and editing call for fire, to reveal substance !
A time-consuming activity that requires single-mindedness. Just like design.
