Perhaps one day all the programmers will be designing AI in French. It is, after all, the Romance language with the fewest words. Or is it least? I don’t really care enough to check, you get my point. (As I type here from my temp job (Tis very naughty, they are not paying me to read your thoughts, after all . . . (I hope that you are not a grammar Nazi?)))

People say they like my stuff because of, as one person put it, “the lack of the stick up the ass.” And I like that for once something produced by my 4+ track mind gets props, even if employers don’t like it much.

But enough musing about moi.

If Morris’ stuff is spectacle, then it is a very organized spectacle. It is so rigid as to prevent even the small amount of spontaniety allowed by a coloring book. Where’s the fun?

Ya know this also brings to mind another artist I recently came across who is very prefectionist about her lines and content. Check out http://www.deedee914.com and read the bio. While the work looks simple, the method behind it is quite complex.

Right now, I think bloggers are more forgiving when it comes to errors on other blogs. I can’t remember ever clicking a comment explaining the difference between “your and you’re” that lead to a blog. If it didn’t, it wasn’t a memorable one. But someone who is writing all day knows how easy it is to slip up once in a while. But yeah, Engrish is making it interesting. The end result will either be that everyone relaxes over grammar or copyediting will rival nursing as the fastest growing occupation

“Published writers aren’t allowed mistakes. To many, any kind of error proves absence of authority”…this is an EXCELLENT point but I think the blogosphere has changed this, well, that accompanied by the fact that Engrish and other variants of the language have made native speakers a minority in the world.

I’m looking forward to the imperfection of English evolving into something interesting.

Great post!
