WHAT'S WRONG WITH CRITICS?

The New Yorker [June 19, 2006]Try this: "Guy [the main character in a new Neil LaBute play] cauterizes himself against pain, in large part through language, a sort of semantic jujitsu that obfuscates his emotional reality and keeps him firmly within the parameters of his own narrative." (Italics added.)

I prefer critics who write in plain English, especially when they're published in The New Yorker -- don't you?
