Arguing you should not write "complex" things or "formal" things becuase of poor attention spans just makes me sad about the state of literacy. | ||

Unnecessary complex and formal writimg is just a poor writing. It is harder to write clearly and simply. | ||

I mean it's advice from the same man who thought "delve" - a 6000 year old, monosyllabic word used by Shakespeare and Tolkien - was too complicated and should not be used. I am not sure we should be taking him as a literary authority. | ||
