“Simple <strong>English</strong> is no one’s mother tongue. It has to be<br />
worked for.” - Jacques<br />
Yes, simple <strong>English</strong> is easy reading but hard to write. Here is the greatest<br />
of all speeches that has ever been made on earth:<br />
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid<br />
(hidden). Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel (a big<br />
container), but on a candle stick” - Bible<br />
Another one:<br />
“I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be<br />
enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bond<br />
of affection (love)” - Lincoln<br />
These seemingly effortless writings come from hard work and hard<br />
thinking. Please don’t mistake them for the elementary style of “Jack<br />
likes Jane.” On the other side of the coin, comes hard reading. It springs<br />
from easy writing and is as plentiful as sand everywhere.<br />
