ie: he admired his lover's ass.

dear writers who subject their readers to appositives,

appositives are for clarification of an unclear point, usually in formal speech. cool: the professor, also a licensed blah blah blah technician, did something technically that you have to be a technician to do. uncool: 'blah blah' said a character, just introduced to the story. 'hm?' said the protagonist, looking up to meet his lover's eyes. even less cool: blah blah his lover's ass, when they've just had sex. we know it's his lover. they just had sex. next window. there are these great things called 'names.' they were even immortalized in a popular work of literature called the bible with a fantabulous fairy tale about naming everything (unless i've got my mythologies mixed up). they're not as fancy and polysyllabic as appositives (at least, most of the time), but they do carry the added bonus of never coming off as pretentious, overly self-conscious, or unconfident.

love,
