[Bkn-english-646-fall-2009] Fw: Re: Assignment #4

Hi guys,
No, to clarify, I was simply trying to point out that I have noticed myself
imposing my own methods of writing on others - without even giving a thought
to the fact that people learn to group and organize ideas in many different
ways. Reading about other methods in this chapter gave me some ideas. Sorry
that I must have came off as a "labeler" of people.
