If you came to Writing, Clear and Simple expecting grammatical and stylistic perfection, keep moving. Everyone makes mistakes, including your humble host (despite my best efforts). If you’re willing to deal with that, stick around and join the fun. And if you spot a writing faux pas here, feel free to bring it to my attention. You might even win some points.
The answer comes to us from ancient Egypt:
Be a scribe! Your body will be sleek, you hand will be soft… You are one who sits grandly in your house; your servants answer speedily; beer is poured copiously; all who see you rejoice in good cheer. Happy is the heart of him who writes; he is young each day.
—Ptahotep, 4500 B.C.
