Subject: RE: BS: Graduate students who can't write
I once was 'privelged' to hold in my hands a large tome which was impeccably grammatically correct. It wsa someones' 'life project; of several hundred pages.

If I read only half a page - any half page, anywhere - at a time, it made perfect sense (I had no idea WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, but it made sense!). Any attempt to read even a few pages at once left me with a headache.

I wanted to keep it, but he considered it was so important, that insisted that I hand it back...

I still have no idea WHAT it was about...

I'm not making this up you know...

I'm not sure of his sanity level, btw, he once lived in the air conditioning ducts of a uni library for several months...

AND I'm REALLY not making THAT up you know...
