It's a simple question, so why can't you just give it a complex, multipart, intricate and detailed answer? ~

    You are of course aware of parallel construction when writing.

    So, you will understand that I would be in poor taste were I to reply to a simple question with my esoteric cogitations and platitudinous ponderosities.  Therefore, in such cases, I eschew complex, multi-part, and intricate answers and prefer to use terse, aphoristic, or wry responses---usually.

    I often do.  Just as I often respond with simple answers to complex, multipart, intricate, and detailed questions.  Doing either, I have discovered, tends to send a couple of questioners here off the deep end.  ;)

      I want you so badly right now that there aren't enough words in the English language to express it.

  • There is no charge for a simple answer.
    The complex answer rate is $20 @ word.
    The complex, multipart answers are $35 per word.
    Complex, multipart, intricate answers cost $50 per word.
    Complex, multipart, intricate and detailed answers require an appointment
    and a background check, after which and upon approval, the financial terms will be stated.

    "Mr. D, would you care to make an appointment?"

      That depends: how many different styles and colors does it come in?
