Silly bear! You either chased off or ate the being with opposable thumbs that could have helped with that...Good night RF...now if I could only get this darn sleeping bag and tent to work....
I recommend reading more Vonnegut.Apparently people in my position/field are encouraged to use the vernacular of those of a sixth grade level. I was reviewing lists of books written at that level, and they looked for the most part a boring asinine mass of drivel. I was still in elementary school when I started reading above that level, and Harry Potter I've never been able to get into because of the reading level it's written in.
The upper shelves of my book shelf (including Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Locke, Marx, Tolkien, Dante, Milton, Poe, and Shakespeare) indicate that modulating myself in such a manner will be a laborious task, and more likely than not I'll be teaching clients some new words and concepts.

I found Hunter S. Thompson is a suitable level, but I can't really use him as a guide of "how to talk" given the language and subject matter, lol. What surprised me, according to Flesch-Kincaid Ayn Rand is at the "suitable" level, but I'm still descending the mountain of literature that is A Song of Ice and Fire (high school level). Ernest Hemingway is also at a lower level, but I need to read, not sleep. So, I might give Vonnegut a try because he's on my list of "eventually getting around to reading." I was going to read through the entire Incarnations of Immortality series, something I enjoyed in high school, there were two books then I didn't get around to (the ones about Gaia and God - Death, Mars, Chronos, Fate, and Satan I did read) and one, about Nox, was released a couple years after I graduated high school. But it is, frustratingly, not at a sixth grade level.I recommend reading more Vonnegut.
He once said (as I recall) that he was popular because he wrote simply.
Dr Seuss is good too.
That for a reason seems to fit with this:I need to quit eating so many warheads.
