Default Re: People expect a mistake free war?

Actually good writing combines correct use of words, logic and a choice of words that are in context. A simple example offered in writing classes is to choose analogies that make sense to the context of the writing even though there may be other analogies that are logically correct but are jarring to the reader. Similarly, IMO, the choice of the word "easy" and "war" in the same context is a poor one -- even if (and I dont agree with the if) the logic is correct.

But perhaps we need a forum topic on writing styles.
