AND YOU'RE ALL WRONG ABOUT BABY AND STRUNK & WHITE he is trying to digest THIS VERY IMPORTANT WRITING GUIDE
(I will concede that it's sort of outdated but if I showed you some of this crap my students try to pass off as clear writing you would see why an iron-fisted book like this is absolutely necessary (and also why commas are entirely unnecessarily))
And now that I think about it, you would not believe some of the florid, wordy crap floating around in my discipline. Lit critics sometimes take the "art" bit of our research a little too seriously and think they can perhaps shed entirely the mundane practice of removing words that are quite superfluous and are not at all needed to convey entirely the meaning which we intend to bestow upon our readers because we are indeed ARTEESTS of words and surely we, literary critics and ARTEESTS of words, should luxuriate in our words to demonstrate that we are in fact ARTEESTS and you, reader, shall come to perhaps possibly maybe understand what ART is our scholarship if we dare to perhaps shed entirely the mundane practice of removing words that are quire superfluous and are not at all needed to convey entirely the meaning which we intend to bestow upon our readers because we are indeed ARTEESTS.
