a proper torture

24.93.136.70

hi Mart,
one of the many things i like about you, is that you remind me of
the way i used to massacre the language. Long, tortured, possibly decipherable sentences, smashed into overly brief paragraphs. Sound at all familiar?
Back in the 60's Goldwater had a great speechwriter. The writer would say, use plain Anglo-saxon language, in declarative sentences. His favorite example of this was Churchill's famous "We will never surrender" speech (have you ever seen "Piece of Cake" ?).
Several years ago, when i got on the net, i had a real problem clearly conveying my ideas ( no wisecracks from the peanut gallery ). It took years, but eventually i got the hang of it.
Anyway, down to cases, did you mean to say 'as afraid as those'?
