Editorial excerpt

I was made the co editor of our departmental newsletter a couple of months ago. The work is quite onerous but it pays well enough that I can work almost full time at my hobby of anaesthetising people.

Had some feedback on my writing which I will share (reproduced with permission):

“Plenty of feedback from last week’s newsletter, thank you. The comment re my severe hatred for the use of paragraphs has been echoed by my co-editor, and is something I’ll be working on. However, I will defend to the death my use of commas and lots and lots of dependent clauses, because if you find it difficult to follow my thought patterns, which may occasionally seem circuitous, like some sort of giant ring road around a central idea, then it’s clear, to me at least, that you just aren’t paying enough attention.”

Such wonderful use of the English language (comma) and grammar (comma) that it has been shared with another sister-in-law (comma) who is looking forward to sharing it with her Year 10 English class. World famous in New Zealand.
