Making them up as I go (2)

1. Tell the truth.
2. Entice, or fail.
3. To emphasize, summarize.
4. If it ain't short, it don't work.
5. Be clear.


And so I don't forget:
Don't explain. Just tell a story.
Don't argue. Just say things that make sense.
Expect people to be bored by the writing, and shorten it.
Make the wording easy to take.

Remove Loose Ends -- the interesting one-liners that go nowhere.

"One of our viewers are in Bermuda"


That's what the news anchor said just now: "One of our viewers are in Bermuda".

IS, you illiterate bitch. ONE IS.

Errors in English reflect errors in reasoning. Not always, of course. But the difference between ONE and MORE THAN ONE is pretty simple, really.

Maybe all of their viewers are in Bermuda, I don't know. Well, I'm not in Bermuda. Maybe most of their viewers are in Bermuda. That's fine. But if the bitch knows about ONE of them, then it is ONE viewer IS in Bermuda.

Which viewer? One of our viewers. One of our viewers is in Bermuda.

Why should I listen to any of the news the bitch reports, if she cannot properly express the difference between "one" and "more than one"?
