I once spent a whole week using e-prime. I wrote everything, text, emails, social media postings in e-prime. I allowed myself to speak "normally" for that week, but the following week I tried to only speak using e-prime. I found trying to only speak in e-prime ridiculously hard as familiar phrases that I would normally use unconsciously, I had to discount consciously. I used a notepad to tell people that I had trouble talking right now because of an experiment which helped! Writing in e-prime had more benefits. I think non violent communication (NVC) has similar benefits. It appeared like the emails had greater objectivity than before and less "blame". I think I spent more time editing stuff (including this comment) though!
