Eprime sucks. Can we talk about 'pataphysics instead?

Sounds good tome. Just as long as nobody tries to hit me in the head with a silver hammer...

...anyway, speaking of 'pataphysics, does anybody know where I can download a copy of Guignol by Alfred Jarry?

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft

The sad thing is that even if you eprime the shit out of it people STILL don't get the difference between objective and subjective statements.

I don't get the "prime" part.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_(symbol)

It's a ', sort of. In this context probably means "derived from", so E-prime is "derived from E(nglish)".

At least, that's what I always assumed.

You know, I spent a few years in college in the cave man days, majoring in math and physics.  As a result, that makes me want to puke blood all over the fucks that are responsible for this.

Oh my god, your avatar is you!

Can't you just FEEL the LOVE beaming out at you?

That is some terrifying love, right there.

new-age stupidity - turning a thought experiment that was supposed to break you out of a ridged world view... into its own ridged world view... yay lets eprime everything  :fap:

I can't.

I appear to be retarded in relation to this endeavour. :(

I just tried to mentally write an eroitc vignette in e-prime.  :kingmeh:  It couldn't HELP but sounding like bedding a block of liberal bleeding heart tofu.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Heh, it's funny, in my field you can easily tell the difference between those who have Public Policy degrees and those who have degrees in Social Work.  The Social Workers use lots of e-prime, they don't want to step on toes or hurt anyone's feelings.  Those of us with Public Policy degrees are a bunch of conceited bastards who tell everyone how it is, whether we are right or not. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

I like E-Prime, but it -of course- has it's place.
