thanks for your valuable time you spared for me <| sep |> Right ? Why do people think boot dryers are so expensive ? <| sep |> Whatever the top comment is , I ' ll watch the whole thing <| sep |> I dunno , I kind of like the first passage better . For things like Simon is a doctor , I think it ' s fine just to state it , because it ' s sort of a cutanddry idea . It won ' t achieve anything more to show that he is a doctor . Obviously you ' d want to show the relationship between him and the captain because that ' s much more complex and unique information . The fact that he ' s a good doctor could go either way , I think I ' d probably lean toward not stating it explicitly because if it ' s important to know , it should show up in the writing . But the way you have it written in the first passage does a good job of concisely setting up the situation .
