If you require people to think about how, rather than what, you are saying they will lose interest. A failed work neither informs nor entertains. Please separate the poor writing from the reading level required. Now I haven't bothered to spell or grammar check this piece but you'll find that it only requires about a 6th grade education to understand. Reminds me of an argument between my mom and dad: Dad - I only read the articles, honest! Mom's response is unprintable and should be obvious anyway!
