Arbit observation #1

Realized that my posts are pretty long ones. Considered cutting it short but decided to stay true to the founding principles of this blog. Thou shalt not go by popular notions of the ‘right’ blog…. Except in its being readable. Which I’m no judge of anyway. Guess I’m verbose. But hey, we females talk more. Blame it on the wiring then.
Where I come from we’d just say, “Aiyyooo, vat to doo…vee aar like that wonly”….. and let it rest at that ;-)

Cheers to all and a hot cuppa kaapi…until the next post.

Woops!!! The way an analyst views a blog.

When you copy and paste the present blog on a MS Office document, it gives you the following results:
1. ‘Realized that my posts are pretty long ones’: Fragment - consider revising
2. A red line below ‘shalt’: Only Shakespeare and perhaps Chaucer too used such words - credible!!!
3. A red below ‘Blog’: Crazy… I think Bill was not a good blogger… after all he was thrown out of college. (Nice word dame!!)
4. ‘Except in its being readable. Which I’m no judge of anyway’: Fragment - consider revising
5. Red lines below each of the words ‘Aiyyoo’, ‘doo’ ‘vee’ ‘aar’ ‘wonly’ ‘cuppa’ ‘kaapi’: ‘Mallu eengleesh’, not present in the MS Word dictionary. Bill Gates wouldn’t have thought about such alien language. What if the reader tries to explain that it was English??! @#$*&%$*#%@#$!!! God help Gates!

(The small word assistance pup jumped out of its kennel as I tried to understand the words and wagged its tail. I think it understood all of them. A bright halo appeared behind its head and disappeared. It pulled his collar, took out some notes and again tucked them back. Then it started scratching the ground...
…. No no!! Don’t pee on my screen sweetie…)
