<< Sadly Gradly | Main | Fashion Narrative >> October 03, 2006 >> In standard format and style In academic writing, it's standard practice to include detailed definitions for the simplest of everyday terms, e.g. "Instant messaging (IM) is when you type shit to someone else and then they type back and there are happy faces and also devils and sheep and little birthday cakes!" You have to meticulously over-define the obvious, to make sure every reader starts from the same point. And then you proceed to write an analysis using the most complex, elitist terminology and theory speak you can possibly cram into a paragraph without it becoming top-heavy and crashing off the bottom of the page. It's a dirty contradiction, to say the least. Posted by Chris at 10:59 PM >> Commentations (3)
