    [slightly off topic]

    Isaac Asimov was a professional writer long before he entered college. When the time came for him to write his doctoral thesis, his advisor warned him against being too articulate. Most chemistry majors took the minimum of English classes and were unable to write well.

    Asimov had read many papers and knew the dry jargon they used. As an exercise, he wrote his own bad paper.
