Doubly so if they have had significant exposure to academia. By her own admission, my wife wrote better back in high school than she did coming out of her doctorate. She’s not trying to be impenetrable, but those neural circuits are just too well-worn at this point.
- rchaud 6y agoThe biggest bait-and-switch of college education IMO was spending the first two years learning how to write. Everybody knows full well that the next two years are spent writing papers and theses in the same impenetrable, verbose style as used in the published journal articles. After all, those make up the majority of the reading list for intermediate and advanced-level courses.
