[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 1259933, member: 2758"] Ok, I actually went and read one piece (the Gallardo one) because I'm disturbed by kinki's comments. There is definitely very obvious traces of other writers. Words and terms and phrases borrowed here and there. Can't really distinguish the writer's own style. Feels a bit patchy and unpolished. Doesn't flow naturally when I read it. All the consequences of the writer trying a bit too hard and trying to patch together different influences without imposing his own. In fact it reminds me a lot of Hypertune and some of the articles there. Comes across as a bit tacky. And it wasn't all that fun to read. Wit should be natural, not forced. Contrived is the word. Clarkson can write like he can because he is...erm...Clarkson. Could you get away with writing an article for the Times, which 70% of it isn't about the car? A lot of writers write entertaining pieces and they write their own way. The writer should tone down the big words and phrases a bit. Don't use it just for the sake of using it, keep it simple and try to write with his own natural style and flow. My 2 cents. PS: I'll read the rest of the articles and I'll update my comments if necessary. [/QUOTE]
