(From below, just 'cause.)
Happy poetry for the day (just kidding) that illustrates - clearly - the difference between prose and poetry.
Poetry manages to touch us with few words and great meanings. Prose is used to illustrate the same thing, but often fails to communicate as effectively.
(And yes, you mindless twits, poetry DOES have meaning and style and form and skill)

He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.
And then - the watcher at his pulse took a fright.
No one believed. They listened to his heart.
Little - less - nothing! - and that ended it.
No more to build on there. And they, since they
Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

As I wrote in my blog post about the WaPo thing, this is utterly, entirely predictable to anyone who has worked in a newsroom where the publisher comes, not from editorial, but sales or marketing. Weymouth started in the office of legal counsel and then was made director of advertising, before being promoted to publisher. These people just don't get it. You would NEVER see such a thing happen when a publisher came out of editorial.
I know this because I used to work for a crazy woman publisher who came out of marketing and she was always coming up with boneheaded ideas like this and didn't understand why editorial would shoot her down.

Assuming that everyone else watches tennis for the same reason I do (to see attractive people in somewhat skimpy clothes bending over and showing off their physiques), do gay men and straight women find these noises sexy?
Maybe the target audience for women's tennis likes the grunting but the target audience for men's tennis doesn't?
