Based as hell.
>>25292713Em-dashes are ten times more visually obtrusive than quotation marks, what the fuck was he smoking
>>25292713>"An eyesore"Irony
I get it. I hate writing dialogue too, and quotation marks are tedious and feel a lot weirder to write than they do to read.
Unironically Em-Dashes are the bigger eyesore now that AI over uses it
>>25292713What about just having two character speak with each other on the same line during and even in the same sentence, without using either em dashes or quotation marks

>>25294028Ew
>>25292713That's how my elementary school teachers told us to do dialogue as well
>>25292726Most Indian post I’ve ever seen on /lit/ - Literature
>>25292726Joyce's writing is beautiful what are you talking about. Even when I have no idea what the hell he is talking about it still flows charmingly.
em dashes are better for long convosHOWEVER you only need new lines and allcapseverything else is GAY

Kafka's The Trial is much better in Portuguese when edited to use em dashes for dialogue. That's because Kafka refuses to break his paragraphs.
>>25294028Stop it, this aint a nsfw board
>>25294156Didn't he say that Joyce was a good model for punctuation and that he kept it to an absolute minimum
I don't think quotation marks are an eyesore, I like them, but I needed something different for written correspondences
>>25292713I have a theory that part of the cause em-dash is that everything in joyce is potentially also written in the ostensive mode. The other thing is that i always forget how much joyce does sometimes just like destruct prose conventions with a shoulder shrug and there were authors other than joyce that did that but seeing that come across the horizon is thrilling, like being at trafalgar or something like that

>Em dashesWhy do they call them that? Kek. Who is "em" dashes? Fuck, the English language is retarded. Some words in its grammar are so ugly, so Saxon, it comes close to the speak of Bantu niggers whose language sound like phonetically piled up babble.

>>25296510America is a colonial nationliterally an economic zone that exists for nihilistic amoral resource extraction at the behest of private entities no matter how they try to dress it up, this will always be the case. America can never be anything but what it is. it has no roots to call on, no great story, no moral fiber or rich cultural tradition. its a giant plantation that exists to be raped into the ground and tossed aside.
>>25296478>Complaining about English immediately outs you as a brown thirdieNo, it doesn't. Only Americans think in these terms ironically, with the English language being equal to blue-eyed developed society and everything else as brown underdeveloped society. It stems from the muttoid inability to apprehend foreign languages. British people, as far as I know, have broader interaction with French and German to know their language is but a fraction of the many one finds across the Continent. Not to mention "brown thirdies" are extremely proficient in English, and have to constitute like 80% of its written propagation online by this point.
