I have been in a reflective mood for a few days, partially because I remembered something related to language proficiency assessment and I was battling all known search engines to find a source. I ended writing something, with the idea of publishing it on Italki, and let it not be read. In case it was, at least the audience would be receptive to the topic and maybe I would get some bonus feedback. It was Too long. I have no idea of the character limit in community posts, but I definitely topped Discord's by three times. I know because a kind friend wanted to read my thoughts. I won't shorten it for the purposes of sharing it but it was to do with language learning limitations, frustrations and occasional despair, and observations about native proficiency and language acquisition. What's clear is that I am simply unable to express opinions on something and be brief about it. I said this today and I used the word concise, but "concise" carries a sense of pragmatic word count. Short, sure, but because of the absence of redundancies and unnecessary "bush-beating", and that I think it's up to debate. Hundreds of years of literary debate about form vs content surely haven't ended yet on the dismissal of form. An argument requires tone and setting. I guess, in a way, like a joke. But you can guess by now that I don't have a point to make. At least not now and with the character limit. Treat this as a diary entry.
