One of the things I do with the magazine I write for (sorry, 'for  
which I write) is to answer reader's questions. Some are lucid to the  
point that they make mini-articles. Some that come in by email are  
almost unintelligible - one the other day had to be completely  
rewritten as it was 200 words long, devoid of a single punctuation  
mark, comma or capital letter and near impenetrable. And the language  
did not indicate a non-English speaking background. (PC for  
furriner). I have to wonder what sort of person sends out a  
reasonable question to something like a magazine in that form.
