Instead of:
Grammar skills are very important for effective communication as it provides structure to your sentence and make it more readable and understandable.
I would rewrite it as:

You could reword it any number of ways, but its not wrong (except for the mistake of using 'as it' when a plural is being referred to).

Probably author uses Word...It has no problem with the grammar of this sentence...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

All structures are also structures. Do I assume correctly that you meant; "No structure" is also a structure?

First snows of winter ... they said. Jack Frost nipping at your toes ... they said. What do we get? Thunderstorms! More torrential rain, followed by teeming rain, with a side serving of inundation, and a dessert of scaturience!

We have the same - it's now been over ten weeks since we last had a day without rain...

Over ten weeks?!?!?
If we have 10 hours of continuous rain, people would cut their own throats...

We had a slight frost here this morning. But that was soon washed away by the rain.

To draw a friggin straight line in Visio!?
Answer: IT's FRIGGIN IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Trying to create a simple sequence diagram.
It's taking me ages to get a simple straight message line between two object lifelines...
The lifelines have connector points, but they're not aligned in a straight line.
When I finally DO have them aligned the next line will have the same problem and aligning that will mess up the first line
VISIO, Y U DO DIS!?

I think if you hold down the shift key while drawing, a line, you will get a horizontal or vertical line.

That does the trick, but unfortunately it doesn't connect to the activation box that way...
Ah well, it beats having unaligned lines
Thanks!

I'm glad you have this problem. At least I'm not the only one now.
At one time I used these stencils[^] to avoid the maleficence of Visio's built-in UML, not sure whether they are still any good.
|
|

|

I actually only work with Visio (or any diagramming tool) unless I absolutely have to.
I'm a true developer, i.e. I hate documentation!

Wouldn't it be easier to get a piece of paper, pencil, and a straight-edge? You could be done with it already!

Sometime in my annual holiday-trance I got this idea that there should be an add-in for Visual Studio, or a stand-alone C# program, that took what you can do now in Albahari's LinqPad [^] to another level.
edit ... Let me qualify that by saying that I don't mean to imply this whatever should attempt to provide the incredible range of facilities that LinqPad does !
This came about as I struggled to visualize what was happening internally as I was fiddle-fuddling writing an Extension on IEnumerable. If you want to see the specific code I was working on, I've posted a question on the C# forum about it: [^].
What I kind of glimpsed-in-me-head (but, certainly can't imagine creating myself with my rapidly declining vision) was a kind of visual flow-chart that somehow would help me grasp what was going on ... perhaps with some kind of animation, perhaps not.
In a sudden attack of domainitis, I registered the name LinqVisible.com for a year.
I will be very happy to transfer this name (free, of course) to the first person this year who writes a CP article on a VS add-in, or stand-alone C# tool, that somehow will assist people to understand the internal operations of Linq in ways that LinqPad does not.
cheers, Bill
