Your post is great, and I grabbed the Wells quote. It got me thinking: what would a modern grammar checker think of HG?
Paid software rates his style at 51%. Tolkien fared better (nearly 80%, if the 'unknown word' errors were removed). It despises JK Rowling and an excerpt from GGRM Winds of Winter garnered itself nearly 108 'readability enhancement' - but only 15 adverbs .
I guess taking care of adverbs and adjectives do not solve every problem .
