Would any one be interested if I did some posts on the rhetorical figures of speech? These posts would not be about simple or concise ways to improve your writing. I recommend luke prog's post for that. I want the posts to be more orientated around a discussion on the rhetorical figures of speech and why/when they work. I have some rough notes where I have grouped them into some some simple categories.

I'm moderately interested. The challenge I see is which figures of speech work is presumably something that changes as a culture changes.

I'm interested in what you have to say. Given the topic I could both imagine a post to be very valuable or it just saying useless stuff.

I'd be interested.
