Writing has changed. There has been a shift towards faster and shorter writing. Too many competing information streams, time is precious, we must maximize every word! Not to the level of tweeting, just be concise. Like any species faced with its own extinction, I must adapt. No longer can I write those 500+ word bombs. No more megatons, more like cluster-bombs. Mini-bombs. More explosions, not bigger. That's the right idea! Easier to manage, easier to process, easier for everyone.
I, for one, welcome our newspeak overlords.
