I thought this article was going somewhere interesting, but then it just sort of petered out, after a number of paragraphs of increasingly dismaying academic language. Not that academic language doesn’t have a purpose sometimes. I just didn’t see it here. Maybe it’s my bad (to use a very non-academic phrasing).


Academic writing can be so confusing sometimes. It feels like the authors are writing to sound knowledgeable instead of trying to convey ideas clearly to the reader.
