&quot;He resigned for blah blah, says person,&quot; is pretty standard English journalese, but I find it weird having an emphatic ghaH before I even know who is being referred to. I would much prefer:<br>

It&#39;s easy to say something like {wa&#39;leS}, but a lot harder to say something like &quot;one day after that&quot; succinctly. I also want to avoid words like {wa&#39;leS}, because they won&#39;t be accurate a year from now. I haven&#39;t found good strategies for expressing time, so I try to avoid it (which makes writing about current events difficult).<br>
