I have an infant child and I've discovered that I developed a, for lack of a better word, verbal tick when referring to her: It doesn't translate to English well, but instead of asking e.g. "are you eating?" or "is she eating" I say "is it eaten?"(note the lack of the word "being" - I'm not asking here if she is currently being devoured). It's a lot like "it is known" in Game of Thrones. I wonder if the origins of E-Prime were in any way similar.
