Actually, they -are- necessary on a technical list when supposedly simple
words aren't correct. (Ever read an academic or technical paper?)
[...] I'm always careful to use the best words and punctuation and
sentence construction. I really don't know how to make you happy. You know,
if someone doesn't understand what I write, they can always ask for
clarification.
It's usually best to use the correct word for a concept in the language
you're currently using, and even that word is borrowed from another
language. I could easily argue that some other writers here are not skilled
in English idioms, so -their- messages are unclear. A common example- in
English, "Feel free to provide" suggests that the writer is offering
permission to the other person, while the way it's often used here is to say
"you need to give us...".
You are too verbose (noisy) in your posts. Verbosity is only useful in
commands and console outputs, or when telling someone to stfu.
"too verbose" == "not cryptic"?
Your complaints are ridiculous.
I tend to agree. I'm also not going to discuss this further in at least the
next few days.
