As covered in my last post, an issue develops re your dismissiveness and how it may affect your writing. My work is technical technical writing - IOW I feed the technocrats - all very self-referencing ;-) - positive, forward, but jargonised. No problem to me. A problem for you? If you dont understand something do you always dismiss it? Ignore the possibility of learning something? Dismissiveness, rejection, maps to a security-seeker. Me? I map to a problem solver. (four basic types - you need to write formal prose to cover the nuances but on a list there is, should be, no issues! ;-) identity seekers security seekers solution seekers (problem solvers) sensation seekers Your prose suggests strong security seeking, you have experiences betrayals and so put up boundaries - keep out the 'rubbish' ;-) Very values oriented, good/bad as compared to true/false of solution seeking. The issue here is that, although this favours editors, it can lack 'creativity' due to its rigidity - IOW something is not 'perfect' until the margins are right etc. Now that is fine for the 'final draft' of some format document, but for an email!?
