You'd think someone who wrote this much would have an understanding of the concept of brevity.

This is too long a title for ANYTHING. Why can't these people make titles a little shorter? I can't fit these damn things on my webpage as links, they're each a short paragraph!

Or you can just call me 'His Dudeness', if you're not hip to the whole brevity thing, man.

agnitrate, it's "brevity"

One would also think that with my far-reaching command over the english language I'd actually know the definition of brevity. How did this one slip by? I've heard it on countless occasions.

Having now in my possession an understanding of the word I find your thread title a bit ironic. By definition a person who writes so much doesn't have a concept of brevity do they?

I pondered the same thing at first.

What notfred's referring to here is that a verbose person would have a sufficient vocabulary such that he would understand the concept of brevity... although he never actually implements it.
