I can read and understand my own writing just fine (unless I inadvertantly leave something out).
Don't they grow spelling checkers on your legacy operating system? It's "inadvertently".
If somebody else wrote in my style, I would pick it right up. It appears to be a matter of matching the thinking and processing styles of readers. If the world was full of Tablizer clones, we would be tickled pink with my writing.
But it isn't, so this is a pointless statement.
Again, it is hard to tell if the "proper" conventions are based on statistical pychological research, or the subjective opinions of dead pompus white guys from yonder. I have not found a reasable substitute for many of my usages of parenths. Should I toss them just to be "proper", or focus on readability as I percieve it?
Read The Elements Of Style, which I've linked to a number of times. It's the best thing in the world: FREE ADVICE.
