I bet quality of English doesn’t correlate to wealth.

OK, ignormatron doesn't ignore when a bot is quoted. MarcusA, this will be my only response. You obviously have no clue about English usage, or you're just a shit. I'll stick with, "You're a shit.". MEGO for any further responses from your idiocy.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Linguistic efficiency (which is our context here) is diluted by inclarity. I.E. the value is not the minimal usage of words, but rather using the minimum verbiage to make one's point clear.

You tune your message to your audience, of course.

A couple of Nietzsche quotes re brevity and then:

"Gobbledygook is long-winded tripe"

Fk

I took a holiday from dear old very low volume HAF forum, it was inundated with Marcus, I was finding the civility rules hard follow.
Marcus in a forum that might only get five posts a day.

Then he was banned there and came here.
And now I feel pity, where are you going to go from here Marcus?
Hundreds of posts a day isn't brevity.
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
