A critique of "More 'Smoke and Mirrors' ..."

by Detritus (no login)

 

A miserable piece of writing, presented by a miserable professional.

In the above paragraph there are only four points that stand out:

1.The literacy standards of Ontario's professional elite - (Obviously poor)
2.The literary standards of Ontario's professional elite - (Obviously useless)
3.The I.Q. of one of Ontario's professional elite podiatrist - (Obviously low)
4.The sanity of Ontario's professional elite - (Bloody questionable?).

This passage grammatically, linguistically, prosaically and intellectually makes absolutely no sense what so ever!

It's gobbledegook - Unreadable scribble!

The writer over embellishes his passages with ostentatious words and phrases which don't flow. Three hundred word sentences are not an accredited form of the English language and the word "channelling" is misspelled. It's quite pathetic! Obviously this can only have been written by an Ontario podiatrist. One of eighty or so that couldn't get into Med School! And, I wonder why? (Trouble writing the MCAT perhaps?) One thick, long, oblique red line through the lot and it's podiatry school for you!

It is advisable that when a writer tries to convince his readers of superfluous intellectualism and a higher professional status, the writing (even if misleading) should be clear and not appear as though produced by a grade 3 student.

So, endeth the lesson.
