O.K. Fair point. If I were writing about such a situation, however, I don’t think that “tend” would be my first choice of adverb. I think “usually” or “normally” better describes articulation that has been impaired by some extraordinary influence.more »
One is either “very articulate” or they are not. There is no “…tend to be…”. This is like stating “I tend to be tall” or “I tend to be blue-eyed”. “Excel” should not be capitalized. The last thought is expressed redundantly. “…so I am going to say…” and “…in my opinion.” express the same thought. Pick one and lose the other. Eloquence is inversely proportional to how many words one uses.more »
