Many years ago I explained that I, like Sandy, write explicitly for money, as much as possible, and the people who pay me expect that I will do whatever text can do to get readers to obey those who pay for the text. One method for this is to write clearly in the most authoritarian language of the day, the most grammatically correct, the most literate, the most accepted as being the proper way to write in an unmarked, unidiosyncratic way, the most likely to have been written by someone who embraced without shame the way the masters of writing write, the way the writing manuals recommend, and recommend as nauseum, purest banal. And to never write the way poets do, oddballs do, gibbering idiots do, for that will allegedly diminish the value of your writing the way the payers want you to write, that is to write as if their and your shit don't smell, your and their skin is hued the preferred color, our accent the dominant unaccent of the day, you and they don't copulate the wrong kind of people, you and they have no faults to hide, you and they have no guts to face up to your inability to break away from hiding behind conformity not of your making. Shit, I understand Sandy all too well. And totally admire his talent to blow prefabricated sunshine where it's needed. Even so I won't do what the grammatically correct crowd never cease trying to impose here. Fuck them as one of them has said often here when he's tired of explaining why he won't do what some assholes keep demanding. Or to say it my way, correct writing, clear writing, comprehensively coherent writing, is just another way to tyrannize, bully, hector and obscure jive-ass agendas, though those who do it don't always own up to , or not admit the arousal it gives them to be part of a me-too maleducated mob. This is a friendly joke, as ever, in respect for the asshole language rules-makers here. (Spit)
