Disdain

Why do English writers go on & on & on & on? I get that its their language and their general comfort level with the script and its usage is high than the rest of us; to whom they introduced their beloved tongue, but does that mean they should get lost in their own words? I often come across this, where I believe, usually an English writer gives out waaaaay too many details about things that do not matter. There are exceptions, of course but a lot of them talk about trivialties in such a way; you forget the point they were really making and the story you are actually reading.

This trend was alright back in the day when writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky rambled on for centuries because they were being paid per word. Now-a-days, its archaic. Get to the point! And get to it fast. Resorting to such feeble attempts to fill in pages isn't lending credibility to your writing skills. Crisp writing is.
