Frighening, eh?

Sometimes I do sit down and attempt to construct a sentence which *does* 
convey the correct meaning, but is never the less maximally technical.

"We apppear to be experiencing copious quantities of solid-phase aqueous 
precipitation in the lower troposphere currently."

This is slightly different to constructing sentences which are very 
wordy but don't "say" anything. My sister has taken this to an art form. 
I truly mean that. I read one of her reports for school once. I managed 
to get through 3 pages, all the while thinking "gee, this stuff is 
really good". And then I suddenly realised "wait a sec - you haven't 
*said* anything yet!" True genius. No wonder she got such excellent 
grades...
