[split] The Nothing

[shemthepenman]

How about looking the words up in the dictionary so you can see they all have roughly the same meaning, and are all valid. I fail to see why when I  acknowledge that such and such is a personal preference, that is one choice is as valid as the other but I prefer this one, it somehow impinges upon anything else I have said, or at least you generalize it to do so (without any supporting facts). What kind of logic is that. I think you know the answer.  I have already given my reason for preferring "'til" over "till". I see no need to repeat it. If you ignored it the first time, why should you not do so the second time.  Besides this has nothing to do with the main topic. This is simply a side topic you decided to get fixated on. Probably as a result of some chemical combination I am no longer able to partake in, do to the fact it would probably kill me on the spot, and while I liked getting high, I also like living

hello,

Fixation, unfixated. But I must say, I still think you have missed the point a little. but never mind.

under less chemically disorientated conditions: I would never dismiss or even comment on that which I did not understand, or was unclear to me. I would rather trust the author, and try to find that thing that I am missing, the fault is mine. And this isn't about translating the obscure into the clear, or anything like that.

for example, 'why 'finnegans wake', without the apostrophe?' I trust he had a reason, i just don't  know it (or didn't then). I could say, the lack of apostrophe is confusing and doesn't add to the poem... who is this Joyce fellow, anyway?!

it could turn out that it means nothing, a stylistic nonsense, pretentious crap... but fuck it, who cares, I may have learned something despite myself
