    2nd person narration

    Yeah, I agree with Jhakka, Glitterfairy and ur inner child - but just as a proviso - second person isn't in itself postmodern. Alot of people get mixed up about what postmodernism is, both as a style and an intellectual movement. You might for example, like the postmodern aesthetic, but not the...

    Adjectives

    I agree - Adverbs are the spawn of satan, but adjective are like friends - it's good to catch up with them a couple of times every week, but living with them 24/7 would be VERY frustrating.

    Essay proof-reading.

    I've used PwarYuex for about a year now, and the results are nothing short of amazing. My whites are whiter and my colours brighter! I fully endorse PwarYuex. He sure helped lift me out of essay writing blues, and he can help you too.

    Helping a gay friend

    The vast majority of recognised psychologists (including the American Psychological Association, the Australian Psychological Association, the World health Organisation, even the Chinese Psychological Association, etc), do not see homosexuality as a disorder or neurosis. They also believe that...

    Can someone please critique my proposal?

    I would like to say that I mean no ill will to Lynn, Med Nez, Gibbo, or anyone else for that matter :p. I would also like to apologise to Nahian for having hijacked the thread. Whilst I strongly believe in my right to present my opinion, I agree with Rob's and Justin's points, that a better way...

    Can someone please critique my proposal?

    Firstly, I never said that my opinion of style was the right one. I simply tried to express that every opinion of style should be taken with a grain of salt, and that it is up to the author to decide how to write (hence I qualified with, "it's my opinion"). I was under the impression that open...

    Can someone please critique my proposal?

    A "formal report" is an entirely different structure that would require the use of topical headings and a concluding summary. It says no-where that the EE2 proposal requires plain language. It's the writers choice. Truly "contrived" responses are typified by the incorrect use of language...

    Would u rather a unicorn or a car?

    Sexy cars make you look like a sleaze ball/middle age man. I'd go for the unicorn. Very sexy. You could honestly say you had a big horn. Girls have the added benefit of being able to say that they've ridden a stud with a big horn.

    Can someone please critique my proposal?

    "Generalisation" does not necessarily indicate that someone doesn't know where they are going or what they want to achieve. The opposite is often true. Dropping your marks is irrelevant; a kind of inverted ad-hominem approach. If you simply enjoy writing this way, "and systematically...

    Can someone please critique my proposal?

    This is my honest opinion about these comments: 1) Your language is not "too flowery"; it's controlled, but nonetheless interesting and expressive, and I would treat the above criticism of it as stylistic bias. Write in the register which you find most comfortable and enjoyable. 2) A proposal...

    A note on originality (my own 2 cents)

    I doubt that it's all been seen and done before - if that were true, then our culture would be atrophied. You just have to think harder to find fresh stuff - stuff beyond hallowed cultural institutions or the usual cycle of human history. It does, however, depend on what you want. These aspects...
