Re: A place to practice.
I couldn't agree more. The depth and eclectic blend of ideas, comments and questions is stimulating. Provocative posts permeate this forum to the point I would have not thought possible. Thank you.

just read the OP...
...so this might have already been mentoned, but I very much like the Skeptic's Dictionary website.
​
There is a good tutorial in Critical Thinking there as well as the "dictionary" entries.
​
I also got a lot out of The Demon-Haunted World-Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan when I was first getting into such things.
​
Lastly, anything by Michael Shermer James Randi, or Ray Hyman will be excellent.

Re: A place to practice.
Alliteration? Vocabulary choices? Varied sentence structure?
​
Your writing makes it pretty clear that you have a considerable intellect to begin with. Are you sure you need our help?
