GENERALLY, I prefer American writers to British ones.
This comes from having had suffered several British business writers whose fondness for lengthy sentences, impressive words and tedious description had caused me, on many occasions, to seek reassurance from my wife as to whether I was suffering premature senility. After she had read a passage or two to tell me, “I’m not sure what this guy is trying to say ?” that I was sufficiently reassured my mental faculty wasn’t impaired in any way.
