Message Bookmarked

some people talk for 10 minutes when you only need a yes/no answer. it's really annoying. but sometimes it's useful to explain ideas fully.

where do you draw the line between being informative and being dull?

DISCUSS (concisely or otherwise)

We had a meeting this morning where halfway through someone's explanantion, I had the irresistable urge to take out some knitting needles and start knitting a tanktop and jab them into my head.

Verbose means "using or containing an excess of words, so as to be pedantic or boring" so surely it's intrisinically dud, unless you're standing up for being boring and pedantic. A-HA!!

Verbosity == dud. Concision at length == classic.

Classic, I like it when people go on and on about things, it was always a good strategy to use at school. Get the teacher on a subject they like, so you don't have to do any work.

Dud if you're in a hurry and they are kinda monotone.
