E, DanielIt's true.
Adam's re-write is succint. Perhaps better. Likely more informative.
Its just not Masto's style, and they do indeed have one.
Picture a puffy shirt. Add brocade chairs, the smell of fine tobacco burning in a meerchaum pipe, and lilting music. She is classy, non?
Just as much of Mastro's material is absolutely first rate, rare, and the stories associated often whimsical, so similarly they cultivate an image and style that matches it.
It's not plain and simple and impersonal. It attempts to be very personal, and colorful - and overtly sophisticated.
I think what's being asked is to change their very image not simply their word usage.
Not happening I wouldn't think.
