bktheirregularDear Greek legal document composers:
I know you're better at the language than I am, but for the love of all that's holy, could you maybe break up the run-on sentences?
Sincerely,
Bruce
I swear, someone is missing an opportunity to make an absolute killing by selling a Greek edition of Strunk and White's Elements of Style. (Not a straight translation, though.) Assuming they didn't get killed for presumptuousness.
And I am once again reminded of my only complaint about Strunk and White: that book isn't big enough to properly beat someone over the head with.
