Plural

I did the summarization of the article on plurality, as I mentioned earlier, and in so doing, I found something that startled me. It may well be (he said modestly) that the material is too dense for me, but a large part of why I found it tough to read, first, second, and third times through was -- it was badly written, badly organized. Instead of a major point, a series of contributing points building up to a defense of the main point, and then a summarization, it was 'here's some stuff, here's some other stuff, this might be related, and , oh, I'm done'.

My golly.
