I agree with Don Meixner: Understandable writing is better.

I don't sing because I can't carry a tune. I can tell that I sound awful. I know people who can't carry a tune and yet sing solo in public. I suppose they can't tell that they're butchering a song. I do sing along with others because I can match their notes. I often feel "marginalized" by groups of singers. I lose social contacts that way.
