Action/writing/only/syllable/alone have multiple syllables, your post would not compile. Makes what he did very impressive.

Guy L. Steele is a person who talked in the site linked at the top of this page.

'Writing' and 'syllable' had their senses defined by Guy L. Steele in his talk, as did 'senses' and 'defined' and 'speaker'.

As I now think on this, I note that the post in which you note errors could change 'action' to 'act', change 'let alone' to 'much less', and change 'only words' to 'no words but those'. The definition for 'realize' is in need of a new definition, since 'aware' is not yet a word with a definition.

In truth, trying this mode of speech is bracing, and fun.

Well, shit. I guess this stuff is easier when you are a native speaker though ;)
