"Transactional drafting is a fascinating field of study—and of practice. There are rigors on the one hand and lunacies on the other. The rigors involve accurately achieving the contracting parties’ desired result, preferably in a form they can comprehend. The lunacies involve using pastiche forms riddled with wildly inconsistent ways of expressing simple duties, absurd archaisms whose purpose few lawyers can explain, and repellent typographic practices that still today make many if not most contracts grotesque to read."
