947 - Time to Clear some Fog

Spell checking some of the pages, which, of course, should be de rigueur before they post. Be that as it may, I've noticed the N-LP oriented stuff is rife with fog. The spell checker barfed on "creativities", and rightly so. There was no reason I couldn't have said, "...the client's competence and creativity." But the over-nominalization bug had hit me.

Sure, over-nominalization can be useful in a confusion technique, but sometimes the goal is not to confuse someone into a trance but to actually transmit information. Duh.

So, be on the lookout for a kinder, gentler, sunnier mode of discourse in some of this stuff. Transparent even. Wish me luck.
