This is my Homework! My mouth is killing me!!!
Edited on Fri Oct-24-03 10:56 PM by Lady Freedom
I must read this on tape perfect! AHHHHHHHHHHH!


In promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities, and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity, without thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, ventriloquial verbosity, and vain vapidity. In other words, say what you mean and mean what you say, and don't use big words.

10. ugh...awful read. Is your professor George Will?
Actually it's humorous in a way because it is telling you NOT to write in the pretentious stilted timbre of George Will but...oh well...

Speech class is different than wrinting.
