Well I think it is a reference to your writing style. We are left to wonder if it is a Quasi-insult or Quasi-complement. I blame Buffalo for not being clear.


I'm only a quasi-modo, but that's no reason to be mean. :)

Are you attempting to get students past the "writers are dumb 'cause I don't understand them" point of view? This must be an uphill battle.
