lesson 1: reading fundamentalisms¹
sean.
as it pertains to reading, such as it is that it is important, it is important to use important terminology and cite important references deemed important by important people, in order to and not withstanding, understand and discuss those aspects of a work that are important to its understanding. although, as has been stated in one of this century's more aggrieved works on writing--the reader is expected to read on a basic level. that is what helps them buy products²--becoming or getting familiar with the important terminological countenance of a work's tangential references, allows the reader to read without cortexing nee oblongating the upper mammalary and if possible pappalary glands.
part 1 of lesson 1 highlights the importance of important terminology.
part 1: important terminology
1. ang
pronunciation: 'a[ng]
etymology: origin unknown
date: 19th century
1 : a word, interchangable with some other words, used to describe a piece of writing that can be described with no other word
2 : a tack that usually becomes or gets lodged in the cerebral cortex and causes much bleeding <the pain i feel is probably caused by that ang i rolled over the other day -- Peter Poontwang>
2. plutarch
pronunciation: %p[l]oot&archk
etymology: danzini tribe, iron panties
date: 3000 b.c.
1 : the tangent of vicissimilitude delimited by the intellectual context of something that has no reproductive qualities other than its own circumspection re: an unknown collective. <the pain i feel is probably caused by that plutarch i rolled over the other day -- Peter Poontwang>
3. vicissimilitude
pronunciation: whitbred
etymology: old non-sumerian, from middle non-babylonian pistol, to read
date: 21st century
1 : the act of looking at characters or letters or letters that look like characters and deciphering them in such a way as to make them a function of mutable linear nodes. <Charlotte, what does vicissimilitude mean? -- Henrietta Mcgillacuty (sic)>
2 : the symbol for manganese.
armed with these terms we shall probe the pipe-work of itty worbles³ that will time and again forthwith, ergo...secure them ang-like to the mutable non-/linear nodes.
note: the controversial influence of 3 dots on a reader's vicissimilitude is touched on in lesson 4
example:
i am lion. watch me faint.
analysis:
in as much as and although these two sentences lack plutarch and vicissimilitude, the experienced reader sees ang in them. a reader who identifies this, enhances his/her function of the non-/linear nodes to a degree that itty worbles get or become impactful.
exercise 1:
analyse the following sentence visavis ang, plutarch, and vicissimilitude:
what is real is not as real as it was when it was real but it might accidentally be just as real as it was when it was real, although even then one can't be certain that that real was what was really real.
