Gone With The Windy Drafts

Disclaimer in Fine Print: Well, it's a good thing this blog has nothing to do with real life, and that it chronicles the misadventures of an impurely fictional persona, Pawlie Kokonuts. Yeah, what a relief that it's more factoid than fact. Sure.

Why is it that so-called experts (called subject matter experts, or SMEs, in some fields) think more is better? They wallow in bloviated, turgid, verbose prose. The wings of their condescension sail loftily on windy drafts of repetitive redundant redundancy. If you can say it, spray it (all over the page).

Of course, redactors (those of us in an editorial role) are mere "wordsmiths," respected for the polished veneer of their diction, certainly not valued for their substantive contributions. We prettify; SMEs solve ponderous problems with tumefacient efficiency.

Call it a rough day in the mines.

We all have them.

Oh well. I don't care if the final product ends up in Swahili; I get paid the same.

Mapenzi salama

Kondomu

Kama unahisi uko tayari kufanya mapenzi, au tayari unashiriki katika ngono, ni vyema kuchukua tahadhari. Hakikisha katika harakati zako za kufanya mapenzi, unajali afya yako kwa kufanya ngono iliyo salama. Inaweza kuwa vigumu, na jambo unalolionea haya kujadiliana na mapenzi wako, swala la uwezekano wa kuambukizwa magonjwa ya zinaa, na kutumia njia za kuzuia mimba.
