Watching Your Language

[Mark A Becker]

no need for the "the" just slows down the punch.

I like the "truth is where truth lies" but it is kind of a played out concept. "We are what we eat" yadda yadda.

Thanks SC-

I agree on both counts:

1. If I leave out 'the', then the first "truth" will be a capital 'T', which is what I wanted, but missed the obvious element of just leaving out 'the'.  Your solution is spot on.

2.  'truth is where truth lies' is a pretty blatant cliche.  I only used it as the set-up for the final lines.  (Yeah, excuses, excuses...).

Also- I have noticed that your level of critique has raised a bar, and that's a very good thing.  You're developing a good eye.
