Thus the program. It is this verbal death at such an important moment which no one at KPFA will willingly face on a Friday evening. Maybe, while we are amusing ourselves on this subject, it might be possible to clarify the cause of such boredom. Let us consider this sentence as a type. It produces an effect very close to that of what is called government gobbledegook.
Every noun is modified at least once, so is the verb.
Modification is piled upon modification, even though the sentence is relatively short, and the whole thing has a sonorous hum that reminds you of a swarm of gnats in front of your face. But this is only because the sentence is so unrelentingly accurate. The first thing we have left out is the word completely , and I think you will agree, something will have to take its place, or the sentence loses what soul it had. If you imagine there is an alternative in an entirely separate sentence, devoted to an elaboration of this word completely, pause a moment. That won't do.
