ikari replied to your post: i admire your vocabulary, and understand it’s your style, but have you ever tried writing in a much simpler way? it’s always been my personal opinion that big words may show intelligence, but not creativity. you don’t need big words to express emotion or make others feel emotion. William Faulkner once said about Hemingway, “He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to a dictionary.” Ernest Hemingway said, “Does he really think big emotions come from big words?”
always thought orwell’s rules only mattered for so-called “academic” writing, thus the absurdly convoluted style of most academics in the humanities (especially sociology -_-). write for you. convey things however you want to convey them.
Thank you.
