E-Prime

My introduction to E-Prime came from reading Robert Anton Wilsons “Cosmic Trigger III”.

The subject later came up on the sufi-studies list, and I started to make an effort to implement it in my writing. I still try and use E-Prime as much as possible, although I have not had much success using it orally…. yet.

1. It changed the way I perceived certain things
2. It helped stop me from treating people as things
3. It helps with “Right Speech”
4. It helps control inadvertent transmission of undesirable memes
5. It helps see how language forms cultural stuff

6. It makes me think before I speak/write
