tectak - obfuscation? grammar? cockanay?
" It may well be a character with VDem writing a poem" - which it isn't - "but to what end?" - perhaps to show the frustration of yon - " It is eminently more germane to write ABOUT" - no need to shout - " someone who has suffered, for example, a severe stroke leaving them unable to communicate intelligibly than it is to write the malformed words or sentences which they may struggle with." - the sentences and words are perfectly formed, plus they offer you different ways to read them - for instance, them as nosey, can be read, as those who poke their nose into other's business or those who know him - " it is quite reasonable to write the clear thoughts of someone dreadfully afflicted with a severe speech impediment" vascular dementia is not about speech impediments, and it is not about clear thinking - if it were the character in the poem would not be so confused by he familiar - "but it has been done. In fact, I believe an Oscar was forthcoming." - should he have knocked everything of a table or mantle piece or some other Hollywood cliche? No thanks, I watch the dialect original - "If you want to say something about something then say something about something clearly." I have, if you think about it.
We, you and I, need to define "clearly". If you need to think about it, clearly it is unclear. I am now a little concerned. You think that this piece is written in "perfectly formed" words and sentences? Check your title.
In fact, check the whole piece. It's "cockney", by the way.
Best,
