"Every half-wit has written and read more texts and posts and comments than all the letters in The Library of Babel." Since it's an infinite library with an unending number of letters, it could be said that's not strictly true, but I do get what you mean.

Still, what are you gonna do? Stay schtum like a prophet with no more prophecies in a dusty ole desert? Gotta post, man, gotta post...

There's always that one guy isn't there? Today I guess it's me, but tomorrow it'll be you.

So goes the eternal scratch-my-back of pedantry, from today until the end of time.

I love these, I hope you don’t mind me saying. This is my bracing energy drink to go out and face the vacuum.

Thank you. For me, the issue with words isn't always that they block action, though that's part of it, it's that they also block other words, fresh ones. The frames we use wear down, quickly, through overuse
