My sincere apology, Paul! You are right: this is not the right venue for the literary discussion. (After sending the message, I thought that I should have sent it off the list, but it was too late.) The reason I started asking you was that I was interested in your professional opinion and

I too have read Orwell. Rule six is applicable to every communication, but many of his other points remain valid as well. Clarity, brevity and active voice are always better than pretentious language, padded prose and passive voice. Paul via phone > On Oct 28, 2017, at 1:18 PM, Bob W-PDML

Okay, we’re done with this. I post photos here to be critiqued, and I appreciate comments both positive and negative. But I don’t post my work here . Ann posted a link to this article, because she thought it was a topic of concern. And I appreciate her doing so. But it wasn't posted for a

Re: Link to Paul's excellent NY times article on an important safety subject

Paul, Thank you for the detailed response. I've learned some interesting things about NYT's style. My teachers/advisors (at all stages and levels) taught me that each paragraph should contain one main thought/point. Then, if you were to write down those main points, you get a reverse

Re: Link to Paul's excellent NY times article on an important safety subject

Thanks Stan. The purpose of the legislation is regulation. Again, space didn’t allow, but the text of the senate amendment requires NHTSA to develop a requirement for a warning device. > On Oct 28, 2017, at 11:31 AM, Stanley Halpin > wrote: > > Nice piece Paul.

Re: Link to Paul's excellent NY times article on an important safety subject

Nice piece Paul. I am quite a nitpicker myself but I do disagree with Igor’s stylistic comments; I think it flows well as is. However, one quibble I have is that you and the Auto Alliance people are talking about two different things (legislation vs. regulation) and I wish you could have

Re: Link to Paul's excellent NY times article on an important safety subject

Thanks Dan, but Janette Fennell is the hero. She became involved in child/auto safety issues when her car was car jacked and she and her husband were locked in the trunk — not knowing what had become of her baby who had been in the backseat. The infant was recovered and the Fennell’s freed, but

Re: Link to Paul's excellent NY times article on an important safety subject

Hi Igor, The Auto Alliance point regarding how long it would take to equip the fleet is self refuting in that they said the same thing six years ago. More importantly, I get only 900 words, so I have to pick my battles. In regard to the paragraph breaks, the first is debatable but a split

Interesting... I didn't know such a technology already exists. Nor I had heard about the proposed regulation. Did NYT fire all their editors? I was a bit confused by a few things (of which most are what the editor should have noticed, such as #2 and #3): 1. Paul, I was expecting that you
