My sister sent me this dire message last night:
help me understand my college assignments! From tonight’s reading: “It follows from this that to understand a text must be to understand both the intention to be understood, and the intention that this intention should be understood, which the text itself as an intended act of communication must at least have embodied.” huh?
To which I replied:
It follows that my implicit reasoning for expressly expressing my thoughts to you is in order that you may infer all inferences that you wish to infer, regardless of my intention (or lack of direct intention {though presumably, at the very least, an inkling of intention would be noted in the reasoning with which I embarked upon this current communique}) and my desire that the meaning of my expressly expressed thoughts would in no way be obfuscated by the sudden and unintentional (though, it may be possible that in some ways it was intentional) logorrhea that has poured incessantly (although, cessation may be soon be in the offing) from the fertile lexicon of my cerebrum.
Hope this helps.
The scary thing is, writing intelligent sounding drivel ain’t all that hard . . .
Made for Eternity 
that is hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh.. i printed out the quote from the book and pinned it to the staff bulletin board. you certainly are a wordsmith!!1
My dear granddaughters, I thoroughly enjoyed both of your entries. I have to confess even people of some academic achievement can feel frustrated by the logorrhea of the initial writer. Of course, no one would want to be accused of being verbose, loquacioous, or even pedantic even though his musings might appear to be excesive.
My Dear Gdaughtrs remember that I have you in “the roundhouse of my heart” ala Longefellow’s poem to his children.
