Zombie Nouns: Trying to Sound Smart is a Pretty Dumb Strategy

This excerpt is taken from a writing workshop put on for University of Michigan law students in the fall of 2014. The workshop was taught by Professor Patrick Barry, who previously won the Wayne Booth Prize for Teaching Excellence at the University of Chicago. The videos were filmed and edited by Brian Genoa.

    6:00 Clearly that should be a semicolon; not a period; it is not periods that are underused present-day, but semicolons.

    Clearly you overused semicolons, not periods, in your comment. Well done on contradicting yourself.

    i believe he wants people to use more periods and not make clunky, overly long sentences which are cumbersome to read. many times we get the urge to just keep on using commas and keep on going.
