tfw cursed with the German writing style to the point where I massively dial it back and still end up with semicolons in most sentences

(when I don’t dial it back… I wish I’d saved the one thing, think it was in a comments section somewhere and Anissimov quoted it for More Right which hasn’t existed for years so welp, there were like, nine semicolons and five em dashes in one sentence)

(don’t read Carlyle in your formative writing period)

I remember in third grade NOT learning subject-object-predicate grammar (acing grammar tests instead on the basis of “if you say it to yourself, which way to put this is obviously correct?”) and instead learning that the nesting order of parentheses was (round [square {curly}])
