In support of clarity

Hoping to avoid accusations of short-cutting in coming days and months, I propound what follows as a clarification of our standards:
  1. Using digits shall not count as a violation, notwithstanding what any digit's pronunciation may imply.
  2. Sound grammar should win out, although stylistic variation is OK, within limits.
  3. Cutting and pasting hotlinks with a taboo mark shall not count as a violation providing said mark is invisibly put in a post.
  4. On obvious grounds, this blog is partial to paraphrasing.  Using quotations shall not occasion pity.  A quotation must conform or it will cost you.
  5. Should any violation occur, an author of a violation shall fix it utilizing words struck through so an account of said violation stays in sight.
Additional clarifying points will probably spring up as our wisdom unpacks this task.

Thoughts?

Starting Up

Aloha and bon jour,

Our goal with this blog is to avoid that most common symbol in our vocabulary.  Such a standard will no doubt push us to summits of communication unknown prior to this pursuit.

Word has it full books conform to this constriction.  Our aim is low in comparison: only to charm and occupy our minds. 

Posts may contain additional complications as situations warrant.
