I think that using e-prime to write, think, and contextualize thoughts adds clarity for me. Most folks I know who are familiar with it are not absolutists about it. It's just a tool in the toolbox.
Korzybski's work is very valuable in my opinion. It lets me think about things in a much less dogmatic and either/or way.
- prepend 5y agoI’m not terribly familiar but went through an e-prime phase back in college and still use it as a thinking tool. I was interested in criticism as I don’t like most formal language rulesets but this content didn’t really give any insight as to e-prime’s flaws. Other than the author doesn’t like it. I also find it useful as part of the “nonviolent communication” toolkit of trying to remove and work around ego as part of discussion and persuasion.
