Roses look red
Violets look blue
Honey pleases me
And so do you
I'm going to attempt to write all my postings to this blog in E-Prime , Bourland's extension to Alfred Korzybski's General Semantics. E-Prime was proposed as a variant on the English language which does not include use of the verb to be, in order to emphasise what Robert Anton Wilson would later call 'neurological relativism.'

1 Good luck! Challenges abound. Clarity beckons.

Woah! Rich has pledged to avoid the verb 'to be' in all its forms in this blog. Harder than it sounds. All the best with this little project, Rich!
