He's an embarrassment to his "university", not mine. Just want to be clear on that.

"One of the best articles you have ever written Jon!"
That better be a fucking troll in the comment section after the article.

"One of the best articles you have ever written Jon!" That better be a fucking troll in the comment section after the article. While I enjoy writing, I appreciate that I never developed as a great writer. However, I know bad writing when I see it: 'Playing with house money.’ This is a term some people use in Las Vegas after you win early in your stay and you have far more chips in your stack than you came in with. It means that regardless of what happens the rest of the stay, if you take the chips out of your stack that you started with and just play with the remaining chips (your winnings), you can’t lose.
The ‘house’ is the casino…hence, you are playing with their money.Often times a good writer will open with a quote or saying that kind of previews or preemptively summarizes the work. What Jan did here is completely lost on me, because he opens with a cliche, and then spends the next three sentences explaining what the commonly-used and understood cliche means. That is such terrible, clunky, and audience-insulting writing. I mean, let's be honest, I opened this article wanting to hate it, but I couldn't fucking expect what was waiting for me. I honestly had to close it after I read the first paragraph (granted, I came back and finished it, but the first paragraph LITERALLY stopped me in my tracks). I mean, I want to burn this guy for his factually incorrect bullshit, but I seriously can't get past how terrible his writing is. It's like if Dickens started "A Tale of Two Cities" with: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
You see, in England and France, there are some people who are really poor and struggling to survive. The times are bad for them. However, a few people are really wealthy, and for them, these are great times.
In the same society, there are people struggling and thriving...hence, it was the best of times and the worst of times.

It was a dark and stormy night... "if this weather keeps up propane prices are sure to shoot up higher than a new moon at midnight," I thought to no one in particular.

With the demands of your awesome executive-level career and wholesome, popular family, I don't know how you find the time to fabricate so many blatant lies about me. You should write a how-to book.
