Does anybody agree that MMM needs to work on his writing style?

I like to read articles out loud to my girlfriend. Every time I start reading an article by MMM, I give up halfway through. He needs to work on his sentence structure.

Here's an example from the recent lifehacker article:

  • For each mile you drive across two times on your round trip to work daily, it multiplies to 500 miles per year, or a $170 annual fee

  • Setting aside $10k to keep the new car on the road, they will certainly enjoy their $115,000 of extra cash after ten short years, and if they combine this trick with a few of the other MMM classics, they'll be able to move to historic old-town Longmont as EARLY RETIREES within ten years, instead of being broke wage slaves still commuting out of here each morning when the year 2021 rolls around.

oof.
