Then I suggest that you internalize this truth about technical writing that
everybody already understands quite well (it is rather odd that you are just
realizing this elementary notion) and do something about it. In other words,
apply this most fundamental concept to your own work and see if you can
improve your situation. I'd also recommend paying some attention to spelling,
and I would urge you to remove the sexual and scatological references from
your text. They really have no place on a list such as this.
