A Comment on Writing

JobLess and I have privately discussed writing. This post comments on one of the mistakes I made in my previous post.

Instead of distant athletic events, I should have used coffee shops or bookstores. I knew what I meant, but coffee shops and bookstores would make better sense to most people. When writing, one cannot forget his audience. Using distant athletic events also makes the post specific and could offend certain people that I prefer not to offend. (I will not comment on the post's horrendous flow.)

The post's point was that somebody has to decide what choices to eliminate and that there will always be disagreement and unforeseen consequences with what choice to disallow.
