Of course my Dingaling writes using some plain English, but my Dingaling is not launching or advocating a pompous campaign that English users should give preference to the terms that my Dingaling particularly uses to express itself. A poetic analogy might due the trick then, my Dingaling particularly enjoys the morning sun, but it does not launch a campaign that the morning sun rays are preferable to those at any other time of day, although of course the sun shines on us all. If my Dingaling wanted to use sunglasses all day in order to make everything look like the twilight of dawn, it would filter out many shades of brilliant colours, and eventually do damage to my Dingaling's eyes as gradually the ability to see these shades through the sunglasses, or even when the sunglasses are taken away, is lost. Similarly, using plain English and rephrasing everything into its simplistic style will eventually do more harm than good to one's intellect. In the end, the intellect will loose the flexibility to adapt and comprehend different levels of complexity and meaning.Andrew Patterson wrote:
To go back to your question on who is the clearest writer, ironically October and My Dingaling seem to write as clearly as everyone else.
They say they don't write in plain English, but they do.
