HOW TO WRITE A BIKE/SAILING BLOG

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities, and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency, and a concatenated consistency.

Eschew obfuscation and all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations.

Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast.Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy, and vain vapid verbosity.

In short: "Be brief and don't use big words."

If

 

If cathedrals had been universities
If dungeons of the Inquisition had been laboratories
If Christians had believed in character instead of creed
If they had taken from the bible only that which is GOOD and thrown away the wicked and absurd
If temple domes had been observatories
If priests had been philosophers
If missionaries had taught useful arts instead of bible lore
If astrology had been astronomy
If the black arts had been chemistry,
If superstition had been science
If religion had been humanity
The world then would be a heaven filled with love and liberty and joy
  Robert Ingersoll, 1833-99
