Here's my entry:
The phlegmatic psychiatrist caught pneumonia on account of his failure to find warm accommodation, enough towels, and heavy chicken soup.
Anindita!
Many thanks for participating in the Diving event. I see you have an interest in technical writing. Poor Psychatrist!
We (at UniSA, Mawson Lakes) also are keenly interested in technical writing as many of our students are computer science or engineering students. (I encourage you to check out Anidita's blog, everyone!)
All the best
Andrea (on behalf of the UniSA and Purdue Grammar Gang)
