Mark Twain: "Use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English—it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; DON'T LET FLUFF AND FLOWERS AND VERBOSITY CREEP IN. WHEN YOU CATCH AN ADJECTIVE, KILL IT. No, I don't mean all, but kill most of them—then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart."

Stephen-Bernie must have missed that class, as seen below.
Non-Believer,
There was not word one from the original poster which might either fortify or substantiate the diagnosis under which her post was titled. Furthermore, the only condition she alleged was that she had once been told that she had a
PARTIAL CLUB FOOT . . WHICH WAS LIKELY NOT THE CASE.
It is a sham for both you and the initial responder to have opined on the availability of treatment, or lack thereof, of a condition which has been so ill-defined by the questioner and about which, had either of you any sense, you would have, at the very least, asked for a great deal more information before offering mere meaningless and generic platitudes.
Yours are quite well representative of the irresponsible responses about which I rail, and those posts have vividly make my point.
Hopefully, you have, on this occasion, been able to grasp my words without benefit of a dictionary at you side.
