Good or bad? I know I haven't written any long essays since my high school days so I'm very rusty


There's a very fine line between eloquent, detailed writing and just plain verbosity. The idea is always to get the most amount of detail with the least amount of words. Oftentimes when trying to insert superfluous words, you end up with akward phrases, syntax errors and tense disagreement. Some of your sentences are needlessly unwieldy and cumbersome. I'm trying not to be too 'English-teacher' here on you, but if you'd like specific examples, I could get more in depth.

Some corrections that I would make to this at a glance:

Never have I(I've never) had even the slightest idea about(notion of. notion and idea are synonyms, but notion is more appropriate when talking about your conception of something) any mixed emotions about FA, yet regardless of that, I have still always found that it’s quite wearisome(irksome) to witness him inscribing(simply 'writing' would do here, as inscribing carries the connotation of physically applying the message on a surface in a relief style) a series of three, or even four consecutive posts in various threads. For me(redundant) I have always believed in the excellence of one’s post to lie in the value of one’s ideas within that post. For this reason, if I ever had to append to my ideas in a post, I would always rely in that brilliant utility we’ve come to know as(on) the edit command in order to amend or supplement(amend covers it) any ideas that I need.

Nevertheless, it is also very apparent to recognize(clear. 'to recognize' doesn't fit there at all) how the presence of FA in the forums can lend to a small decline of the monotony abound within this forum(just too verbose. A simple 'bring variety' would suffice).

On the other hand, I reflect on(although 'consider' could be better) ArbiterFrolix as an outstanding reporter. His pleasant usage of words and expressions greatly complements to the excellence of his reports. The first time I had laid my eyes on AF’s game report, it had hit me right at that instant(we already know when it happened from a few words ago) that this guy would turn out to be an absolute hit(success, etc. you just used 'hit').

However, don’t misjudge my words(a little akward. 'Get me wrong' might be better). My intention would never be meant(is not) to put down the rest of TL’s reporters, as I believe that they were all superbly chosen to fit their roles as best as they could, and are performing some of the most admirable jobs in the community.(this last sentence seems a little snide, but I don't know if that was your intention)


These 'corrections' are incomplete, and many are subjective, but I believe in they work in the spirit of making the writing more technically and aesthetically pleasing.

snide: Derogatory in a malicious, superior way

How is my last sentence a derogatory comment in any way? I am complimenting everyone, not putting anyone down.

Generally, when you say someone is doing 'the best they can', it's not in a complimentary way. It suggest that there's some higher level of performance that, for them, is unattainable. While that may be an intrinsic characteristic to almost any situation, to say it seems very disparaging.

No Brood, I meant to say that the people that were chosen to do reports were chosen as good as they can be. What I'm saying means the decisions that were made were as good as they could be. "As best as they could" as directed to the decisions and selections of the reporters, not directed toward their performances. The second sentence is directed toward their performances, and clearly so:

I understand what you meant to say, I'm just telling you that how you wrote it lends itself to an ambiguous interpretation. The phrase 'As best they could' seems to refer back to how they 'fit their roles', not how they were chosen. While it's clear to me what you meant, a syntax error like that could easily confuse someone. A simple rephrasing would clear it up. Perhaps I believe that they were all superbly chosen as best as possible to fit their roles, and are performing some of the most admirable jobs in the community would read a little better.

What is amazing, is how hungry and ungrateful people can argue over a free meal and a warm bed to rest in.
