I write good…and short.

Texting, Twitter and the like are changing the way we write, including the use of some not so superfluous words. In my case, often a pronoun to introduce a sentence. Also, sentence structure. This is a good thing. What we lose in formality, we gain in getting to the point/ brevity. Critical in the information age.

Sir Winston Churchill
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
