Indeed, duty. I believe a number of books have touched on this theory. I mean have you read anything by Cormac McCarthy? He uses little to no punctuation and rarely if ever tells you who is speaking. It forces you to be more involved with the book IMO.

I think I'm one of those dim minds that actually would have a hard time reading something like that. I get too distracted by poor grammar (not that mine is perfect) and spelling (see previous disclaimer). It really bothers me when I'm trying to read a news article that has been poorly written.

madurofan

While its written without punctuation and doesn't tell you who is talking, it amazingly isn't difficult to read. Its written in such a way that those aren't necessary. i.e. two people are in the scene, a father and son. He doesn't tell you who is speaking but the first line will say something like "You know, son". Not hard to figure out who made that statement.

Some people couldn't understand him, I, on the other hand, had very little trouble. The kicker of course is that once I did understand him, I wished I hadn't been able to. In the immortal (or was it immoral?) words of Ron White "You can't fix stupid".

So you're saying context clues are only helpful in the event that the observer has had a sufficient base of prior experience? I can agree with that.

who was it, rusirius, that called him out, and tore him up ? I haven't seen him around for a while either. Wonder what's up with our close shaven friend ?

Luko

Obviously Big Dan took him out. You DON'T call out Big Dan.
