KmP: English has too many words (50,000); only 500 are used in casual conversation.

KmP is writing about proper English. Shakespeare proper English is not useful today.
I have no idea what I am talking about and occasionally return to delete comments.
I want to comment on friend's articles and should just enter XXXX.

I use Appalachian Free Style punctuation. You can connect a lot of short sentences with colons and semi-colons. Punctuating dialog is difficult for me but the Spanish use dashes and I sometimes use those.

KMP: Maybe the Clintons are financing Bernie to give Hillary an old man to slap around until the main event.

Would it be cheaper to hire friendly people than to train surly ones?

BT: A Drone can follow the Suspect. Car chases are obsolete. I plan to plagiarize this article and comments.

PH: Very informative articles. For now, I do not like the Primary process and hope you will write about that.

BT: 13 names were on my absentee ballot. Some folks vote for who they think can win instead of their favorite.

Cool Hand BT: What we have here is a failure to communicate. When Bernie or Hillary become available to run the NC Prison system, s/he could prove a lot of theories.
I am trying to determine how many NC Prisoners have BS/BA degrees and are their crimes less violent? Would women robots be better cell mates?

Yes, Cool Hand BT. One friend was in Jail awaiting trial for insurance fraud: given time served and released. Another in a Mental Hospital: preached inside Waffle House until carted away --when on his Meds he was an Engineer. I took lots of psychology courses a SMU community college and diagnosed myself OK.

Book: Medicare Demystified by Ronald Kahan, MD was a great education. The chapters have a Key Point summary. I was expecting too much from Medicare. "A" covers hospital but not doctor costs. "B" covers doctors but not post hospital care. "D" is very complicated. Skilled Nursing care is not Nursing homes. Etc.,ETc.

My plan: Hire unemployed Social Engineers to teach in prison. End racial segregation and merge the separate but equal Women and Men prisons.

Old Job Skills make for great hobbies like calligraphy, wood work, and non-computer art.
