For a board regarding literature and literary language and techniques, there seems to be very little use of such a vast and enjoyable language. Most of you talk exclusively in Internet lingo or standard English.
Are you guys from non-native speaking countries in large portion? I notice a demographic of Brazilian of Latin American posters, so I could excuse it as retaining the basic talking points.

I can't speak for the rest, but my excuse is that I straight up suck at writing.

I hope you’re not a native English speaker yourself, because holy shit your OP is poorly written.

A lot of ESL types post here. Also you must take into consideration the youthfulness of most of the posters. Compared to how most of their peers communicate, these young /lit/erati don't do too badly. Except that caps lock guy...

How the fuck would you expect people to talk, then? Want me to pepper every post with a metaphor in iambic pentameters?

Who the fuck saw that one coming? By the way, OP, if you are going to talk shit about someone else's writing abilities, try to be a decent writer yourself.

Yeah, Latin American here. ESL teaching is mostly shit and unless you live in Argentina, Chile or Uruguay you probably can't speak English to save your life

Because we've colonized this board and sent the anglos astray. My goal here is to tarnish the english language, just as the anglo soiled the earth. /lit/ will bear the taint of our revenge.
