In that 'personal history of Twitter' Medium article, the author claims Twitter has made him a better writer. As far as I can tell, curmudgeonishly, Twitter hasn't made anyone a better writer. The Internet [by which I mean the tide pools of Silicon Valley] has an inadvertent house style which is banal and stultifying. #Twitter #writing #curmudgeonfacts
@miriam If Hemmingway’s short sentences made of Anglo-Saxon monosyllables is your sole measure of writing goodness, then sure, it makes you a better writer.
If you have ANY other criteria it kinda starts to lose its allure pretty rapidly. Writing to a fourth-grade level of language comprehension has its limits.
