Admire how you do the job. Beating that challenge would be fantastic. Carefully selecting the right words improves the work no end. Doing that sort of thing is an ideal exercise, of course. Even just occasionally, it helps shake the cobwebs off. Figuring out how to make sensible sentences is demanding. Getting anything to flow without extra rules is hard enough. Hopefully, it can drive away the ennui. In particular, if you're writing about a boring subject like the major industries of Senj. Just a town in Croatia, if you want to look. Knowing things like that is all very well. Like knowing the heaviest metal is osmium. Mental challenges are more helpful than useless information. Not that all information is useless, it depends on the use you put it to. Obviously, my mind just sucks info up. Probably not very useful to know the definition of kamotiq. Quite pointless looking it up, don't bother. Really, it's about honing the old skills. Setting yourself a goal, something to get right. Testing myself, rather than impressing you. Unfortunately, we do live in the era of the chav. Verbal dexterity isn't very now. With that and the woke, language is getting stuck in a box. Xenobiotics like you and I get no joy. You know I'm on the jazz. Zooming off to do extra!
