I am beginning to Embrace Constructive ambiguity, and think that I might enjoy Communication after all.
My current Stylistic plan: capitalize the letters of words where you intend the reader to notice a potential for ambiguity that you intend constructively.
the capitals above are in draft status; written by instinct. I like that I and My happen to come out capital, though.
e.g.
english is a Viciously ambiguous language.
… would get the emphasis more right. (and I notice that starting sentences clearly is going to be a bit of a problem)
wow. how do I give more Attention to your advice? it’s great! I have not learned the explicit predictions part yet. I’m still just reacting. My cognition has been so overloaded I never had time for that and I haven’t figured out where to fit it in. help? all I can predict right now is that what you right will be helpful.
PS have I mentioned how much I admire Your Pseudonym?
edit: hah! I wrote “right”. I never Grokked Puns. (although some were clear enough I did find them funny, of course; and I’ve been sensitive to Irony for Forever)
edit^2: {the pun was unintentional{conciously}, but awesome}
PPS I sent a link to my dad about this. I think he’ll get it. beyond that? also, notation matters (link?) but I’m sure you know that in your own way. so much happening by Accident these days. It seems to be coming from Communication. neat-o.
You might also want to know that when you reply to yourself, as you do above, you get notifications but I don’t. (I just happened to notice this in Recent Comments.)
I find lists useful for keeping track of things I want to get to later but don’t have time/capacity for now.
In principle, I endorse the idea of typographic markers for particular meta-level emphasis—what in speech I would use tone of speech for—but in practice I find it distracts me more than it helps, and I pattern-match it to crankishness. I sometimes use italics for the purpose, but I find even that more and more distasteful as time goes by. This all seems arbitrary and even unfair of me, but there it is anyway.
Re: pseudonym… thanks.
Two lines of text without an intervening blank line will get parsed as a single line, unless you put two blank spaces at the end of the first line.
