After plodding through a rather stodgy opening on page 10, he noticed that whoever wrote or edited the piece obviously shared his opinions, as written in the left hand margin were the words “boring intro”. On page 4 he found a note to “improve paragraph”, while certain bits lacking an ending bore the instruction “conclude”.
Isn't it nice in the smokescreen of marketing 'initiatives' to find a little glimmer of the light of truth?
