Which area of law do you find more fascinating to study then others?
Who?
Thanks 'Marky_B' + 'Muncrun' for your posts…
J-Z, I wouldn't personally consider it an advantage to apply such meticulous rules to language and label myself an 'excessive pedant' in this area. To have such exactness and preciseness would mean everyone would have to attach the same semantics to each word; general rules are acceptable, indeed vital, but not those creating an impractical elite standard. It's just communication, that's the object, there's no need for linguistic derogation

You've done it again. To you speak verbally that way?
Was this deliberate?
You lot must be bored if you're criticising each other's English like this. This is going OT.

.Sorry, Lucid87, but you ironically fail to communicate your ideas fully because you lack precision.
It is rather comical, isn't it. I think law forum posters should dedicate their time towards more interesting/worthy issues.
Therefore, I'll try to settle this issue (without exonerating myself): I don't think it's my writing style as such, but more my choice of specific words which cause ambiguity. When I write in this forum, my mind is not 'set in stone' or certain about the common lines taken on the issues discussed, I just have a number of nebulous-like ideas- hence the elusiveness of my language (sorry).
Having my language as the focus of discussion goes against my intentions for constructive debate. I realise I'll have to communicate in a more accessible and concise way, albeit still trying to avoid expressing definitiveness, but nevertheless in a manner which is perceived at less pompous.
Happy posting

The sad fact is most people have fallen into these traps. Such people are often identified by the fact that they have toyed with the idea of studying medicine- despite the fact that it is a totally different career!

Do you speak how you write?
How does one be "nebulous-like"? In fact, how does one be "like" an adjective at all? Is it not enough to simply have the adjective apply to you?

Hehe. That made me laugh - a lot. Anyway, do you know yet if you're coming to Birmingham in September?
I do indeed! An email from the lovely Sarah Jones informed me that I will be joining the School this September.
Or, in the style of Lucid87 -
Yes it is in the definitive affirmative for certain. An electronical communication missive derived from the singular Sarah Jones detailed and dictated to my understanding that I will depart this current location to arrive the proposed place afore-mentioned this year after August but preceding October.
