Pass over in silence

Here, have some awkward philosophy of language ramblings of a distinctly undergrad caliber. Yayy!

Apologies for a) using the same adjectives over and over again and b) sounding like the Section Asshole Classic (or maybe the Valley Girl iteration). Also for the post-cold scratchiness of my voice. And the unfortunate construction "baroque-ass".

  1. The issue of eloquence in an L1 vs L2 (first language / second language) environment is really interesting. Even more interesting is when L1L2 is totally blurred by learning them at the same time while growing up...

    Some famous authors who write in English, and for whom English was not the mother tongue, end up with some quite beautiful ways of communicating in English.
