New feature. If it takes, it'll get its own category. The Best Single Sentence I've Read In A While is an award given out "once in a while," celebrating an art which seems to be dying: the art of composing a phrase well.

I really love language and what it can do. And these days, people seem to write without artistry, without cleverness. Most of them write without even a basic respect for the laws of usage and grammar. So I think it's worth celebrating when someone does better.

Without further ado, The Best Single Sentence I've Read In A While goes to Fred Clark, for this gem:

Attempts to convey the ineffable often come across as kind of effed up.

Congrats, Fred. Keep up the good work.
