YOU KILLED ALL MY FEELINGS.

if I used my love powers, to turn the middle east to ash, then melt
that ash and condense it, then mix it with some really crazy gas and
condense it until it glowed orange, my love would be the size of that

Because the post is targeted towards the lowest common denominator, obviously. If you're trying to help the stupids, you have to start out talking a little bit stupid.

I'm not out to help the stupids. I explicitly stipulated that my post would not deal with language fundamentals such as grammar and vocabulary; I am assuming of my audience a certain level of literacy.

I don't necessarily mean stupid in the sense of illiteracy, either. But, if you take a group of "teeny-boppers and maladjusted adolescents" and expect this to improve their literary output, I think your expectations are a little high. It's a beautiful and brilliant post, regardless, but we apparently have different ideas about whom your target audience is.

Possibly useless in context. In fact, probably more than useless to the majority of posters in this forum, which is a pity.

H'wever, I'm reading it, I might gain something from it, and if so, it'll have been some use and I'd expect more people to benefit than just moiself. Clearly some already have, so what-hey.

Well, in that case, it has my full support. Because, really, who doesn't like to circle-jerk over a good literary diagram?
