weyes Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 i apologize for the lack of the column for the 4th and 5th; i was staying at my omniscient friend's house, otherwise known as time's bermuda triangle, which now has a playstation, but still no computer.damn, that simpsons' driving game is hard .anyway... here's the column for today:an argument against "a picture is worth a thousand words," which i find is also true, the written word is very powerful. while it doesn't have the definitive tones or gestures that a live interaction would or the expression that a picture would, the vagueness of personal letters and notes is what makes them so dangerous.trying to decipher what the author meant can easily lead a reader down a wrong path, and, if the piece is never discussed, a misunderstanding is easily reached. and the permanence of words committed to paper (or screen) can bring unintended feelings back to the reader again and again.choose words carefully, mean what you say; clarity is key.tune in tomorrow.
