    I don’t know why this post made me wonder this,
    but has anyone done a post where every word is in quote-marks?
    “It” “would” “look” “something” “like” “this.” “I” “find” “it” “pretty” “easy” “to” “imagine” “someone” “having” “already” “done” “a” “whole” “post” “this” “way.” “While” “it’s” “not” “all” “that” “funny,” “it’s” “not” “really” “that” “much” “harder” “than” “normal” “typing,” “though” “it” “really” “makes” “you” “conscious” “of” “every” “single” “solitary” “word-choice” “you” “make” “and” “provides” “some” “stylistic” “puzzles” “with” “which” “you” “may” “contend.” “E.g.” “it” “might” “make” “more” “sense” “to” “include” “the” “whole” “verb-form” “within” “the” “quotes,” “e.g.” “”to include”” “vs.” “”to” “include”” “or” “”having done”” “vs.” “”having” “done.”” “You” “will find” “this” “makes” “you” “not” “want” “”to” “ever” “split”” “your” “infinitives,” “for” “you” “would” “then” “have” “”to” “always” “go”” “back” “and” “put” “in” “more” …

    nice. i have seen longer comments like this, but never a post that i recall. it’s funny–i read some of the words as having “stronger” quotes around them, the ones for which it “might” “make” “more” “sense.”

    Have you seen Lark Vorhies’s books? Such as True Light: A, superior, take, unto, the, premier, haloing, of, tenuation. Readily, available, True Light, provides, resource, into, time’s, motifed, and, vestuved, authenticate, revelation (2010):

    For, ages, we have learned, to, search, for, the, truth, about, life. The, truth, in, regard, to, the, opolous, insight. Facts, ascertaned, according, to, the, willing, advance, of, theme, and, time. Fames, tolled, apart, from, steads. Standards, partrolled, in, union, with, the, ever, held, age, perfection, within, the, stales, of, solution. New, boarders, of, parental, discovery, taled, to, the, wind, of, true, shelter, and, destine. At, harmony’s length, we, trivail, the,chiefs, of, known, ability, to, prevail, the, pronounce, of, hartmanship. [opening paragraph]

    Ouch. At first I was actually looking up words, like a fool: ‘aplanthremary,’ ‘esponsible,’ etc.

    You, sir, are a slave to your conceptions. Much like being a “slave to the rhythm,” there’s nothing wrong with it at all.

    Lark Vorhies would seem to have her own vocabulary.

    I’ve been thinking with posting something about her books but don’t want to join the legions at Gawker who are cackling over her / her problems. Still mulling.

    At least you’re taking pause. Even if you tried to include some commentary about celebrity schadenfreude, you’d be inviting it all the same.

    The internet sucks.

    The books are curious so it’s easy to see why lots of people are looking at them, then going, “What the shit??“. But since the books might be the product of mental illness, gaping at them is pretty unseemly. And beyond that I never watched Saved by the Bell so I’m probably not the person to write an article.

    Conversation between two people that no one else is reading

    thank you

25. April 12th, 2013 / 12:19 am Brooks Sterritt—

    Wow, I had no idea about this. She is “obsessed with commas?” This is too great. Admire your restraint but think you should post about it regardless

    I have said all I have to say. The internet will take care of the rest.

    Against my better judgment, just watched her somewhat frazzled interview. The writing seems interesting, but I see what you mean about the mental illness making analysis sort of problematic.

28. April 12th, 2013 / 10:47 am A D Jameson—

    Yeah, it seems hard to me to gape or look at or write about the book without gaping or looking at or writing about what seems her mental illness. Still mulling…
