SPEAK ENGLISH

WHY DO I BOTHER TO READ? WHAT'S WRITTEN OR SAID IS OFTEN BEYOND MY GRASP. TONY WORDS SEND ME TO THE DICTIONARY WHERE THEY ARE SOMETIMES NOT FOUND. BABY BOOMERS, GEN X AND GEN Y WRITERS CONSIGN ME TO THEIR DUST. HAVING NEVER KNOWN THE PRESENCE OF A 60'S REVOLUTION, IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT I IDENTIFY WITH NO 'GENERATION' UNLESS IT REFERS TO REPRODUCTION.

I RECENTLY READ ABOUT A "CRIMINAL PREDICATE," WHICH CONTEXTUALLY APPARENTLY MEANS TERRORISTS. WELL THEN, WHY DIDN'T THE SPEAKER SAY SO? I READ ABOUT "KARMIC ENTITLEMENT." AGAIN, CONTEXTUALLY, I GATHER IT REFERS TO DISPUTES OVER ROYALTIES FROM DEAD AUTHORS. I READ ABOUT A NEWSPAPER AS THE "IDEOLOGICAL WINGMAN." WHY COULDN'T THE AUTHOR JUST SAY ACCOMPLICE? WHEN THE "CHOICE OF VENUE FOR ADJUDICATING PARTICULAR CONDUCT," IS DISCUSSED, I HOPE I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THAT THE FIGHT IS OVER WHICH COURT WILL HEAR WHICH CASE. PLAIN SPEAKING WON ERNEST HEMINGWAY HIGH PRAISE. WHERE ARE HIS FOLLOWERS NOW? WHEN WARREN BUFFETT AND BILL GATES MET TO SHAKE HANDS OVER BUFFETT'S BILLIONS GIVEAWAY, REPORTERS OF THE EVENT STILL MANAGED TO OBFUSCATE INFORMATION WHEN I READ THAT JOBS (I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT ) WERE AVAILABLE FOR "A SENIOR PROGRAM IMPACT ANALYST AND AN ADVOCACY AND POLICY DIRECTOR." CONTRAST MY JOB OF HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER OF ENGLISH, WHICH WAS CLEARLY DEFINED, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, DESPERATELY NEEDED BY WRITERS , SPEAKERS AND THINKERS TODAY. OR I NEED AN I.Q. UPGRADE.
