You know, I'm sick of reading the newspaper, only to find sentences
starting with "So...", "And..." or "But..." I got into trouble in the
4th grade for that sort of tomfoolery, why does the Fargo Forum pay
people to write like that?However, A∴ B∴ has
redeemed
herself; the article in the Forum today, about night-life in
Downtown Fargo, was interesting, well-written, and didn't have any
blatant language problems...I'll even ignore the fact that nearly every
paragraph in her byline column
starts with "We". I'm no expert writer myself, and I'm not being
Grammar-Nazi here, but it's far more pleasant to read something when
attention paid to the flow of the sentences. A professional writer
should be able to do it instinctively. when the Forum takes their
fact-based articles off the Wires, choosing to write personal-interest
articles using local talent, they should put effort into finding authors
who can write a couple hundred words in a creative and attention-holding
way.
