"So," they say, "nobody's perfect!"
But the Vinedresser won't buy that.
Given the opportunity, He will trim the unproductive suckers and shape the branches so each one will bask in Sonlight.

Internet Linguistics

    DEBRA WIERENGA has some ideas about electronic media's effect on language.
    Artistic expression can range from Gimped fractals to free-verse poetry. To the degree that it is subjective, precision becomes a non-issue.
     Objective, business communication, however, requires a system of parameters for common understanding. Literature blends artistic expression with systematic communication, applying aspects from both. There will always be art, literature and business, and the web won't change that.
