We were reading for exams and opened the textbook concerned for the first time since the beginning of the classes. Let me tell you what is in the text book:
- How to make things complex
- Extra-ordinary linguistic abilities of the authors
- Unnecessary examples for simple concepts
- No examples where required
- Outdated data (as old as 2002-03)
- Long sentences, compound-complex-illogical-hyper-sounding words, punctuation
- Self-promoting summary which tells you why you are lucky to read this book and not others
If you are writing a book to be read by students (not because they are supposed to learn all the passages by-heart by the respective prof) for the love of it, I have a simple solution.
KISS it. Kiss stands for Keep-It-Short-&-Simple. Spare me your language and let me learn.
