Hmmm... thanks for commenting, acqq, but four out of nine sentences in your comment are hard to read. You also used four adverbs, try and aim for two or less.


> try and aim for two or less.

I hope this was meant as provocation. I'm guessing you actually meant, "Try to aim for two or fewer," yes?


It was a reference to the Hemingway app. If you paste acqq's comment into Hemingway, it suggests "Four adverbs used. Try to aim for two or less."

As humour goes, it's a few levels of indirection away from Seinfeld. But you're on a forum full of people who spend all day thinking of abstractions for their abstractions, so what do you expect?

Okay, that made my day. :)


Yo my man! Four legs good, two legs bad!

(I really, really hope you don't get down-voted from those who miss the point).
