政治は余りに悪いが、私はそれをわき残す。
議会は最近誰ものために多分期待したり明快さを、代りにである産油NOのための略称およびまた立つかもしれないがNOPECとして愛情深く知られていた法律を可決した-カルテルを輸出して機能しなさい。「良い、私はワシントンD.C.、の誰も基本執筆明確な英語は言うまでもなく、多分混合の形容詞を理解できなかったのでhypensを加えた。
この行為が何を許可する議会をあり、感じればオーペック国を訴える指名部下は後者オイルの生産を差し控えて、ずっと需要と供給の処理によってこうして人工的に価格を引き上げている。 これらの訴訟の幸運はNOPECの可能になる言語を、しかし見てみよう:
「それはこの行為の違法そして違反」、そのような行為、組合せ、または集団行動が米国でオイルの市場に直接、相当で、および適度に予知可能な効果を、供給、価格または配分、天燃ガスまたは他の石油製品が」。もたらす場合宣言した衆議院を、「オイルの、天燃ガス、または他のどの石油製品も…または別の方法で限るために取得への生産か配分オイルのための取引の制限のあらゆる行為、天燃ガスまたは石油製品である
私が言ったように、NOPECの幸運。 そして執筆ゆとりの英語の幸運。 それをいずれの場合も必要とする。

Actually, I’d frequent this place if there were any truth in advertising. Why not quaff a gin and tonic while getting your haircut?
However, the owners clearly meant salon.
The sign behind it is also interesting. With vin in the title, I was expecting a wine shop. instead, the place sells traditional Chinese dresses.
Every year, English teachers from across the country submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country.
Here are last year’s winners:
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

I’ll answer that question for you. Yes, you do, if you’re human.
What subvocalize means is that you mentally "fill in the blanks" as you’re writing, but your reader will not be able to do the same when he or she reads it. There are many reasons that we all leave "holes" in our writing, including haste, exuberance and lack of experience.
Nonetheless, there is a cure for subvocalizing and thus making your writing understandable only to you. That cure is to leave the writing in the computer, or sitting on the table, for a day or more if you have the time. After you’ve slept on things, you’ll wake up and read your writing and realize you skipped along too hastily and left some matters unexplained or incompletely explained.
I’ve written about the ideal writing process before, but an article I stumbled upon today reminded me of the need for "curing time" in writing, so my thanks to the author of that article, Richard Kallan.
I was watching an ESPN telecast when the host brought on a PR expert in reclaiming one’s reputation. The subject, obviously, was Roger Clements and his string of lies ever since he was revealed to be a ‘roids monstrosity.
This PR guy said there was a six-step process to recover one’s reputation and that the first two steps were "truth" and "honesty."
"There’s a difference?" I kept thinking.
So I looked up the two words:
Truth is defined as "the true or actual state of a matter" by dictionary.com (the first meaning given). Honesty is defined, first meaning, as "the quality or fact of being honest; uprightness and fairness."
So, I assume what PR guy meant was that, first, one had to begin telling the truth, and second, one had to adopt a policy of always telling the truth.
I still think the two are redundant since, if you adopt either truth or honesty as a policy, you’ll achieve the same goal.
However, it’s highly unlikely that Roger Clements has any intention of telling the truth or adopting honesty. Deceit is his only mode other than bullying others.
