What if authors pick a symbol and ban it ? This original plan is oulipo.social’s bid. Is it a fun workout for word fanatics ?
Why
The OuLiPo is a French creative writing comitee created in the 60’s that uses original constraints to foster original works.
One of their most famous works is A Void (La Disparition in French), which is a 300 page novel entirely written without using the letter E, which is the one banned by the instance. (And yes, there is an English translation that was also written entirely without the letter E)
Posts similar to any of this will not stay up on our activity list:
- Pornography without a “CW” or “Tricky Topic” tag
Hmm I wonder which words CW consists of.
Content warning
The joke is that it contains the letter E, which is banned on the instance.
Communication Warning could work.
This post’s wording sounds a bit off at first. I understood it lacks a symbol, now it’s lucid.
(wow i find this difficult)
Thanks for this mastodon! I might know from which country you post, according to your ponctuation syntax with a gap splitting words and symbols.
What symbol did they ban?
A fool was using this symbol, that fool is you. A pronoun contains it .
So this “symbol” is letter e?
yup
