Exactly, I don’t understand how anyone is arguing that it’s a clear and well written article.


Because it is clear.

You'd think the mensa members on the OT would have no issues reading it.

We usually agree on most, did you write this article or something?

How are you argeuing that it’s not poorly worded?

Anyone reading a short article online shouldnt have to reread some of it to make sure what it says. Clearly the majority of people in this thread found it poorly worded on its initial read

I honestly don't think it was unclear though.

When you say that night, you are going to make alot, if not most, people infer you are describing the night in the preceding sentence.


"Danny had a good weekend this past friday.

Debbie wore her pink sexy underwear under her short skirt last march. That night, her boyfriend danny got lucky"

So, reading that, we are supposed to naturally know "that night" is talking about this weekend mentioned in the paragraph before?

I mean I understand that, but the 3 sentences all had the same beginning.

I guess it would be better to say "Friday his charges, pending since March, were dropped. That night blah blah blah:

I believe you. But don't you think that despite whether or not it's clear to you, if multiple people read an article, and several have trouble understanding it until they reread it, that it might have room for improvement? Even though you didn't have a problem, the writer could have done a better job so that everyone could have understood?

Well, then I disagree with your opinion. It is absolutely poorly written. The fact that this is being debated this many pages into the thread is all the evidence you need.

Sometimes they don't. Have two charges before 18 is pretty awful. You had the same criminal past?

I mean obviously there's some issues with reading it, but I never had them so I'm struggling to make myself see how someone got confused reading it.

This board will argue anything

The evidence needed is just that some of y'all got confused so it's clearly not a well written article. I just read it clearly so I didn't think it was.

It's funny, because you're being the contrarian in this thread.

Get over yourself. You're not super smart for figuring out the article. It's still poorly written.

Then in my opinion, by definition, it's poorly written. A professional writer shouldn't release an article if it has some issues with reading it. He should proofread it, and corrections made so that the issues are removed.

Dude I'm literally agreeing with you and if anything, calling myself stupid since I'm the one who didn't see it. Chill out.

This should be the end of this conversation

Somehow, I'm guessing it won't be.
