One Feeds Off The Other ... or what?!

[kahljorn]

Have you ever read about E-prime, english prime? It's basically the english language without using any forms of the verb, "To be". Like AM for example, or IS. the reason you do this is because you sort of talk yourself into a certain mind frame, a mindframe like, "I am a republican". You can be nothing else, just republican. Rather, it's better to say, "I hold similar views as many republicans."
The basic idea is to tell the truth, all the time, even to yourself. Alot of people think there's alot of confinement within language, imagine how differently people who were born into a certain language think. It affects your thought process, and defines things that have no set definition. The object is to avoid all that and simply state the unlazy truth.
Essentially, lawyers talk/write like this. And scientists, and often times mathematicians...
I know that didn't exactly answer your question, but if you read into it a bit it kind of does.
