Shiddy Draft

Shiddy Draft

That last post was one.

If you’ve read Ann Lamott’s Bird by Bird,
then you know what I mean.

If you’ve read Ann Lamott’s Bird by Bird,
you get what she means.

If you read my last post,
then you know what I mean.

If you listen to me,
then it’s a “shiddy draft”
because I,
a native speaker
of English,
flap my “t”s at the onset
of my
unstressed
syllables.

If you listen to Peter Ladefoged,
depending on when he’s talking,
it’s a North American English
alveolar tap.

Shoddy draft
sounds shotty.

Nothing is sound.

If you’re an INTP
like me
then you may
like me more
if I don’t like
to state the obvious
(and, to state the obvious,
then, neither do you).

Don’t you think
it’s weird that
the graduate student
advisors in
the English Department
at my university
recommend
Ann Lamott’s book
to Ph.D. students
writing their dissertations?

And she never
finished college.

Aristote n'a eu aucun mot pour ceci.
Mes amis semblent plus de raisonnable.
