I took out all of the verbs from the text in this page, making it alot harder to read yes, but i think its a fun thing to do regarding to the book. It's not really koscher wikipedia-style, so if you want to revert it go right ahead. But, please, try to change the text instead, keeping the verbs out of it :D

By the way, if i made a mistake somewhere, an is perhaps where it doesn't belong, correct me please. Gkhan 11:48, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

Hrrm. I'm surprised nobody's gotten to this to revert it yet. I'm not going to be the killjoy; I just know that the E-Prime talk page had an argument about that sort of thing. It also looks kind of weird to have the author's quote itself contain verbs. Azure Haights 19:20, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)

Now that I think about it, I am gonna be the killjoy. It's not like the article gets much attention either way. Azure Haights 21:02, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting, people like me would like to learn something about the topic, so being able to understand the article is key. Providing quotes from the book is also good because it illustrates the point. putgeminmouth 15:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like an interesting concept, if not an interesting read. How about some sample passages to give a flavor of the verblessness?

Also, what exactly is the author's beef with verbs?
