{{a|boilerplate|}} | {{a|boilerplate|}}A [[legal eagle]]’s nugatory attempt at ''[[design]]''. | ||
WHEREAS: | WHEREAS: | ||
The legal eagle’s opportunity to tell a bit of a story, using the juridical version of “once upon a time”: basically, an integrated passage (that, if it doesn’t start with “[[once upon a time]]” or “[[whereas]]” or “[[background]]” is sometimes called a “[[preamble]]”) which leads you into the meat of [[contract]] — or in a perfect world, would do, but the juridical magisterium being what it is — an imperfect fiefdom designed for the pleasure of [[Pedantry|pedant]]s — it will lead you instead into a thicket of [[tedious]] preliminaries. | |||
Thus, having been primed with this tantalising backdrop, expect to spend your next half-hour hacking through a dense undergrowth of [[Definitions|definition]]s, matters of [[interpretation]], [[construction]], [[hierarchy of documents]] and superfluous extemporisations on [[Singular|singulars]], [[Plural|plurals]], masculine, feminine and neuter, and the socio-economic power structures implicit in gendered legal language<ref>Ok: not really that likely yet, but we ''are'' heading that way.</ref> before you get there, by which time you will be tired, hungry, scratched, possibly injured, desperately needing a pee and really wanting to go home. | |||
