He was a sweaty man and it kept the sweat from dripping down his face and forehead. This especially agitated him when writing or reading.

The autopsy report you linked literally says his height is 72 in. Maybe if you spent more time worrying about the works of authors instead of joining in on the celebrity worship infesting our culture you'd have better reading comprehension.

He was a methamphetamine addict, wasn't he?, so.... I'm sure he had his "reasons." If not then I'm not sure why. Or that other thing. Or why people like his work either. Pretentious shit in my opinion.

In the actual examination at the bottom though it says 76. Did he get stretched by hanging?

Commas go inside quotation marks at the end of relative clauses that appear at the beginning of sentences.

>affirmative statement
declarative, not affirmative. whether it’s affirmative or negative is irrelevant. also, declarative statements can be used in an interrogative manner. it’s not ungrammatical.
