(no subject)
I wish we had plural "you" - formerly we had 'ye'. The thought occurred to me because, formerly I was in habit of normalising my otherwise idiosyncratic speech habits so as not to set self apart from generality; now I realise how transient are "stone walls" of public opinion, how an objectively superior form of speech [one conforming to utilitarian standards] won't set self apart from posterity. So I now write how I think and talk on my Live Journal, whereas before I did otherwise, and this made my writing appear as affected. Now it appears as more natural and personal.
