Let your conversation possess a clarified conciseness, compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency.

Sedulously avoid all polysyllabical profundity, pompous prolixity, and ventriloquial vapidity.

I can’t even remember who forwarded this link to me now (thanks and apologies to whoever you are), but it is one of the most concisely interesting talks I have seen in quite a while.

Help! Is there a doctor in the network???

I don’t normally do posts about my work, but this is such a good read, such an accessible technical article and so relevant to so many of us that I couldn’t resist.
