This from a guy who criticizes others' use of the English language.
Not use, genius...COMPREHENSION.
Comprehension and use go hand-in-hand. By using non-standard colloquialisms, you are perpetuating bad habits, and making people practise trying to comprehend non-English structures and grammar. In my mind, that seems counter-productive to your spoken goal, possibly even hypocritical. Perhaps people would comprehend better if they weren't constantly "challenged" (and by challenged, I do mean to imply the reference to "literacy-challenged").
And nice try, attempting to change the subject again.
And, nice work of practise, King Peter.
I guess you have a problem with writers affecting their own style as well? for instance you probably think that the use of second person throughout 'Bright Lights, Big City" is challenging. Or Tom Wolfe's use of punctuation and onomonotopaeia to attempt to descrice the effects of LSD in "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" to be offensive to your sensibilities.
And though, you dear genius, have obviously elicited some clue as to what JAIL used as an adjective means, you feel the need to say that you can't understand it. I think that someone who loves expirimental music so much might like writers who come up with their own style.
So my conclusion, based on egotism and armchair psychology is that you are either 1) jealous 2) mounting a man crush or 3)both..either way, go back to posting about Tangerine Dream and killfile me if you don't want to try and decipher my rantings.
No, dude, it's not like I hate it enough to never want to read it. I'm just calling you out on it.
And no, it's neither jealousy nor a "man crush" -- those aren't the only two choices. If anything, it's more akin to "trash-talking" -- something with which I suspect you are familiar. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, if I did.
And no, I haven't yet figured out what jail-as-an-adjective means. Nor your use of rape. So perhaps there is a bit of frustration involved, which I'm expressing. I do appreciate writers affecting their own style, but perhaps your style combined with the terse "shorthand" style of written conversation on web forums is too much for my tiny little mind. A problem of too many variables than equations, perhaps.
And I do love me some Tangerine Dream. How in L did you remember that?
Did you mean, "experimental"?
