Lawyers spend extra years learning vocabulary and argument. The end result is an express understanding of how to use words to either cloak, or clarify, meaning as the situation warrants.
This has devolved into arguing over semantics.[right][snapback]110059[/snapback][/right]
Most internet posters lack that expertise. Many posters, due to either ignorance or indolence, present poorly articulated arguments. I disagree with those who hold that brevity au outrance holds inherent virtue. I find it useful to spell out, or to amplify, in order to concisely present what I mean. I don't always get my point across, but at least more information is available to that end.
One can always be more concise, it just takes another edit. ;) On the other hand, no amount of editing can help muddled thinking.
