Readings 6-10

I also found the readings not as complicating as the ones we have had before. In the Logorrhoea article they mentioned how studies showed that University students that used big words and long sentences in their work proved to be less intelligent authors than the students that did not use big words and long sentences. I liked reading about this because I hate having to write a certain amount to get a certain grade and I think it's cool that in this class Sarah and Michael don't give us writing restrictions. That just reminded me of that.
"Colourless green ideas sleep furiously" reminded me of how how in the lecture last week Michael spoke of this, how you can have a sentence that makes perfect sense but is "bullshit". There are many ways that you can percieve this 'colourless green ideas sleep furiously' sentence even though it is only composed of five simple words. I found the game 'cadavre exquise' very interesting.
I also found the 'etaoin shrdlu' article pretty interesting too. It's cool to learn about how things were 'back in the day' and how keyboards worked.
The little 'jokes' on page 51 by Henny Youngman I also found humerous, it's a relief to have to read a bunch of information on something and then get to read a bunch of jokes.
The Humpty Dumptys explanation was also interesting to read and I actually understood this time how this story related to what we were learning and going over in the course.
That's just my experience with the readings from this week. :)
