Worth the read.

I am so worried that we as a society have lost the ability to write well, and risk losing the ability to recognize and appreciate good writing. Rote professional written communication skills are changing and diminishing. The written word is generally seen to be a burden. Anyways, bittersweet thoughts from a really funny article.

I think this is a poor example of "society writing well". It reads like a medical journal. I personally hate it and couldn't get through it.
