        Minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions! I used to have a t shirt with that as it’s logo, and which died a horrible death repainting the back fence. I miss that t shirt still.

          I dearly miss a Planter’s peanut shirt with the dancing peanut character that said “Everybody loves a nut.”

          It died respectably, but unexpectedly, when a roommate grabbed it to stop floodwater coming in the back door.

          R.I.P. our shirts 😭🫂

        Einstein said to use the simplest language necessary to explain a point.

        The important part is explaining the point. You still need to explain the point.

        and fascists like to make language very very simple, it means that people are unable to discuss issues with precision.

        It’s all very 1984 and Fahrenheit 451
