Uptick, Great post! I so wish I could communicate with the written word as well as you and Loop, Ghors, Whizzer, Tucker, and even sjratty and others here studied in the law.
I guess it is a result of all of the reading you have to do, and careful consideration of words, or else it is just a natural talent. I do pretty well in verbal, face to face communication, but my written communication often leaves the wrong impression, or sometimes even an impression opposite of my intentions.
