Stop saying the word prose you faggots Anonymous Sat Aug 5 19:22:53 2023 No.22345056 [Reply] [Original]

The prose was this, the prose was that. Every time I see a thread on some author someone describes their "prose" usually with one word. Noone in real life, when discussing books they like or dislike, ever say "I thought the *prose* was dreadful," or "I really admired the *prose.*"
>I dont care what words normies use
Okay go find a book review written by a professional and see how many times they say "the prose" in their review. It will probably be zero times.

This is something I've only ever seen on lit and it's fucking retarded.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 5 19:24:41 2023 No.22345063 Yeah, you get constantly triggered because your prose is terrible.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 5 19:26:25 2023 No.22345069 >>22345062 Amazon reviews aren't professional reviews.

Prose is a midwit word. When someone says the prose was good, I want to say “you think the writing of a professional writer is good?”. Almost every person who uses the word can’t explain what makes good prose or bad prose other than banal statements like it was boring or I didn’t like it

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 7 00:24:51 2023 No.22348129 >>22348115 Read Faulkner, Joyce or Melville if you want to know what prose is. You clearly haven't, which is why you're capable of such a fuckwit post.
