------------------------------ From: Donald Perley <donperley(a)gmail.com> I'll make an analogy between an evening of 12 dances and an essay of 12 paragraphs. If a common word appears in every paragraph, I wouldn't notice. If it's a less common word, or every paragraph begins with the same word, or the same sentence appears in several paragraph, then I would. To me as a dancer, ladies chain or B&S I wouldn't notice as repetitious. Something like rory o'more or mad robin I would.
