What words do you hate, /lit/? Anonymous Mon Jul 10 18:32:11 2017 No.9740400 [Reply] [Original]

Fuck seem. Seems/seeming is what stupid people say instead of "is."

The seems/is distinction is actually crucial in establishing a subjective position. It might be misused in bad writers, but in James or Wharton it's important. To a particular character it seems like "a" but is, in fact, "b." Hamlet has a good speech on this distinction.
