It wasn't until the end of this particular entry that I found myself compelled to actually leave a comment. I vaguely hope you will find what I have to say helpful, but honestly it's more criticism than constructive and for that I apologise, though not very sincerely.<br /><br />Your writing isn't particularly good; your analogies are torturous. Every entry in your blog reads as though you've sat down with a thesaurus and looked up every adjective you've used to find a longer, more obscure version of it. Using uncommon words doesn't make you seem more intelligent, it simply makes your blog entries less accessible. <br /><br />My main issue with your writing is the sheer pretension slapping me in the face with every sentence. It is extraordinary, and what makes it so much worse is that I can't even tell whether you're actually this pretentious a person or if you're simply pretending in order to find a job. <br /><br />The reason I finally decided to say something is because of the misattributed Voltaire quote you have chosen to use in the entry above. This is a famously misattributed quote from a book about Voltaire by Evelyn Beatrice Hall written in 1906. Voltaire never said it, though he may have agreed with the sentiment. I'm not even a tenth as pretentious as you come across in your writing but even I know that.<br /><br />Anyone who would pay you for this work must surely be as aware of Voltaire as I am and all the faux- (or real, sadly) pretention in the world won't make up for misattributed quotes or terrible analogies.Pimpin' Landohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461053264656826391noreply@blogger.com
