this is just inspiring

From Martin, Eric V. “Reconceiving the Voice-to-Style Relationship in Academic Discourse: A Study of Students’ Initial Perceptions and Emerging Writing Practicies.“ Diss. Illinois State U, 1995.:

My challenged uncle does not have verbal skills, but yet he has voice and style. I especially like the way he says thank you. I am certain that if the rest of us would follow his lead in this regard, we could solve a great many of the world’s problems. As a way of expressing his appreciation, he touches foreheads with people, looks into their eyes for a moment, and says, “buh.” (Acknowledgments)
