Actually, it's fading fast.

I do a lot of reading (of articles, not books), and frankly, I have to admit that I don't really meet the classic expository paragraph much anymore. There's technical writing which from what I've read is supposed to be terse and to the point - no paragraph longer than two sentences, no sentence longer than 14 words. There's op/ed writing which seems to be a lenient little brother to the expository paragraph - it's supposed to make a clear point in a methodical manner, but is allowed to play around a bit while making that point. And there seems to be quite a lot of writing that perhaps simply shouldn't be getting published.
