Indentify the Idiots

Did you know that your readers are idiots? Of course they are! Adapt your writing for them. Quote “well known” terminology as if it were “rare”. Does anybody complain? No, obviously they had to “look it up” (i.e., look it up). Better yet, leave a typo in your headline.

clue:

Maybe I’m too sensitive, but I often close an otherwise interesting article early, because the writing is awful.

give me a clue so sweet and true
