e-prime

English Prime, a special trimmed version of the English language (E-Standard) that excludes all forms of the "to be" verb for improved "mental hygiene".

A useful awareness to have that allows anyone to react carefully and critically towards a situation.

Reinforces the simple philosophy of "et cetera", that a thought will always lead to another thought, that nothing has an absolute meaning.

E-Standard: "Why ARE you so damn ugly?"
E-Prime response: "I don't know what you mean, define "ugly".."
