Never thought of it that way.<br /><br />My theory on why Indian (American) speech/talk is so memorable - hardly any qualifying words (adverbs and adjectives), just subject, verb, and object. <br /><br />Paragraphs are punctuation.

Maybe it was the dearth of adverbs...<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.steveliskow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-69516748328564393572019-06-10T01:03:50.388-04:002019-06-10T01:03:50.388-04:00By the way, Steve, that's an excellent tutoria...By the way, Steve, that's an excellent tutorial about adverbs.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-37659139064831263382019-06-10T01:02:18.943-04:002019-06-10T01:02:18.943-04:00Like you, Steve, I'm reading the free version ...Like you, Steve, I'm reading the free version of the Mueller Report, no page numbers. I'm probably 75-80% through part 1.<br /><br />It's not at all a dull read, in fact, it's pretty easy as you say. I find very little legalese, certainly much less than a civil court document I reviewed a few days ago. My friend Thrush finished the full report quickly and chafes at those (like me) who lag behind.<br /><br />The amount of material covered is astonishing, but one clear lesson is Barr either didn't read the report or…<br /><br />he lied.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
