Grammar, logic and rhetoric.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Are these "artsy"?  I sure don't think so. They aren't really "hard" sciences.  Hm.

"Artsy" was a poor choice of term on my part, that's why I put it in quotes. cool
"Soft" and "hard", "artsy", "the arts", none of the terms seem to be truly descriptive.

I once worked closely with an electrical engineer as an electronics tech and I must say some of his circuit designs and problem solutions were so perfect I would have to describe them as art. To the point I got really excited, thinking to myself "Holy snot, look at the way the man thinks. His creations are pure beauty in form and function."

So, anyway. cheesy

Grammar, logic and rhetoric.

I agree wholeheartedly.  Of course, that precludes voting in the poll.
