It nearly took me longer to watch the video than it did to write the post. Trust me. I do it for myself more than anyone else. In a previous life, I was trying to get a job as a journalist. Then I realised I had integrity, so I decided to post my thoughts randomly on internet forums instead. You'd be surprised how quickly your brain becomes used to constructing sentences with good syntax, and it becomes habitual to disregard whether or not anything made sense. Usually, if people like what you've said, it didn't make sense
