reaction; the action caused by an action
While I was writing a reaction, I thought I should use only words with one syllable, and words defined in his talk.
information; facts learned.
realize; be aware of
Other than the great information he gave, writing this reaction taught me how hard it is to write in this style, let alone talk for a hour. I also realized how much long words I use.
- gnaritas 16y agoAction/writing/only/syllable/alone have multiple syllables, your post would not compile. Makes what he did very impressive.
- jholman 16y agoGuy L. Steele is a person who talked in the site linked at the top of this page. 'Writing' and 'syllable' had their senses defined by Guy L. Steele in his talk, as did 'senses' and 'defined' and 'speaker'. As I now think on this, I note that the post in which you note errors could change 'action' to 'act', change 'let alone' to 'much less', and change 'only words' to 'no words but those'. The definition for 'realize' is in need of a new definition, since 'aware' is not yet a word with a definition. In truth, trying this mode of speech is bracing, and fun.
- pepijndevos 16y agoWell, shit. I guess this stuff is easier when you are a native speaker though ;)
