What I like best is Caitlin's gentle almost Austenesque use of language. Very feminine, mellifluous, full of manners and respect for convention, subtle inferences. Know what I mean?
I suppose you are the kind of person who demands that a woman who is screaming about her drowning baby screams in a more musical way. Catherine uses language appropriate to the situation which is far from “Austenesque”.

I was being sarcastic. I love the way Caitlin's Newsletter is written.
I agree with all Caitlin says...but her crude language will turn off many potential readers.
If her objective is to get her word out to as many as possible, she needs to tone down her crudeness.
How many nuclear wars did Jane Austin try to stop?
Alfred Tennyson did try to save the battle-shocked cavalry from the gallows and point out the utter stupidity of war. Way back when.
