(FB 1549029840 Timestamp) —“Q: Curtus Maximus. I want to learn more about this. Any suggestions as to where to start?”—Dominic DeLuca By Curtus Maxiumus A: This website gives a nice explanation of e-prime. Start with trying to write in E-Prime. My list of disallowed and allowed words: DISALLOWED WORDS be; being; been; am; is; isn’t; are; aren’t; was; wasn’t; were; weren’t; Contractions formed from a pronoun and a form of to be: I’m; you’re; we’re; they’re; he’s; she’s; it’s; there’s; here’s; where’s; how’s; what’s; who’s; that’s; ALLOWED WORDS The following words, do not derive from forms of to be. Some of these serve similar grammatical functions (see auxiliary verbs). become; has; have; having; had (I’ve; you’ve); do; does; doing; did; can; could; will; would (they’d); shall; should; ought; may; might; must; remain; equal. https://www.nobeliefs.com/eprime.htm NOBELIEFS.COM ( Maximus: FYI: I also prohibit ‘become’ )
