The easiest way to read faster is to use a stylus to pull your eyes across the text, one of the things that slows down reading is your eyes jumping back and forth on the page, a moving stylus minimizes this movement. It also helps when you jump down the the next line. (To increase reading speed even more, speed up…

I would disagree that calling someone with an earned Doctorate by the title doctor is questionable. Would you not call an MD, doctor, because they don't have a Ph.D.? In addtition, a Ph.D. nurse in a medical setting would not be called doctor (of course, in a medical setting, doctor is a job title, not an…

This only makes sense if you ACTUALLY invest that money. If you say, I'm not going to Olive Garden today and put an additional $50 into your investment account, then fine. But if you just avoid Olive Garden and don't invest additional money, you will spend that $50 somewhere and it will never become that $500. Then…

Consider the following sentences:

I have been a runner for nearly 30 years and have never done much stretching and have never had an injury related to that. My warm up before a race is 2-3 20m sprints. My cool down is a walk back to the car.

Not all directions are driving directions. I work on a very confusing campus of buildings. Trying to figure out which door someone came in so you can direct them back to their car is a challenge.

Except that google maps can't even get you off my street (I have reported the error).

Looks like Etienne Charles at Yoshis in San Francisco. Lime appears to be Trinidad slang for hang out. Santimanite is a jazz tune and extempo probably is short for extemporaneous. So they're going to play Santimanite and then go hang out on the beach and jam. Unless this was the last song of the night I expect…

Using the passive voice isn't incorrect, it's just disliked. Split inifinitives rarely cause problems in understanding unless the split is too big.

"with which I am comfortable" while correct sounds a bit old-fashioned. A better solution would be to rewrite as "...then I am not comfortable with that learning curve."

If you aren't happy with the entree tell the wait staff and the manager will come over and make it right. If that doesn't happen then you can leave a crappy tip and never return to that restaurant. But if you don't actually express your complaint to someone they won't be able to fix it.

I think that "The Last Example" points up the absurdity of this idea. You will likely not spend more productive time at the conference because your hotel is closer. You will arrive for the first session of the day and you will leave after you've accomplished what you want to accomplish. What you WILL get for being…
