@SecZone if any speakers send me a one-paragraph summary of their talk takeaway, I’ll try to weave it into my keynote.
@joshcorman I give you crap about this frequently. They are clear/fitting to YOU, not a majority of who you speak to. (cc @mckeay @csoandy)

@attritionorg You don't have that much room to talk, oh he of the flowery phrasology. I could tell at a glance what you wrote in the series -
@mckeay it didn't involve words you had to look up I bet! (concepts maybe, but not individual words) -
@attritionorg Poetry is a fine and noble thing, but it doesn't belong in a dissertation, unless it's about poetry. -
@mckeay we did not use poetry, flowery, or flowing language either. not according to us, proof readers, and all feedback so far -
@attritionorg Heh, you must not have gotten the feedback I gave. I thought you both use too many words, but that's just me. -
@mckeay nope. please feel free to forward directly to me. i'm curious what parts were "flowery or flowing".

@attritionorg@mckeay@csoandy yeah. that's why I'm trying ween myself off of some.#UseSmallWords ;) -
@joshcorman@attritionorg@mckeay@csoandy Please don't or we'll all end up speaking at the level of Congress http://bit.ly/OCjCpl -
@wikidsystems we're talking intelligent words, but not ones that make us reach for a dictionary because we haven't used it in a decade+ -
@attritionorg what if they made you reach for the Urban Dictionary? -
@wikidsystems that is often amusing, but also not good for communication generally -
@attritionorg granted ;)
