I implore every one of you to talk, and even move towards thinking in E-Prime...

What is it you say?

E-Prime simply means to communicate without "all", "is" and "it" statements...

You use terms like, "sombunall" (some but not all), "seems to me" and "in my opinion" instead of saying what something "is"... Try it out people...

Fundamentalism and belief systems simply cant exist when we communicate in E-Prime...

As an example...

In Hitler's case...
It "seems to me" that "some, but not all" Jews are plotting against us...

In the Christian's mind...
"It seems to me" that, "In my opinion" Jesus is the one true saviour, and the only way to heaven...

Give it a go...
