- FinnLobsien 3y agoI think part of that is because their only intent is to tell the story in a way people understand. They're not trying to sound smart because there's no editor or boss that reviews their writing. Their point is to make sure someone gets the story, not that they get promoted or something
- Waterluvian 3y agoThat makes sense. It reminds me of Drunk History. The way a drunk person will just tell you a story without any complex fluff because sentences are expensive when you’re drunk.
