Subject: RE: BS: What are the absolutes of good writing?
Variety in the length and complexity of sentences. Intelligent use of connectors (conjunctions, howevers, therefores, etc). Big vocabulary. The courage not to be stuffy.
When I was in high school, I was required to memorize the list of subordinating conjunctions. It has been an aid to writing and thinking ever since.
