wow that was great. im currently doing a project on the farewell address and i had no clue what that man was talking about, but if you put it into modern day talk it makes perfect sense! so thanks. and you should not put the gettysburg address into modern day because it’s fairly easy to understand, i should know cuz i have it memorized…so yeahh.

It looks like you have quite a few spambots, Munroe…

But yes, this is an insightful article. It’s kind of sad, though, that most of these rules have been broken.
