I write like...

I found this on Myrhaf's old website on the off-chance he'd written something new there:


I write like
Jonathan Swift

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!



This is after me plugging in the first half dozen paragraphs from my chapter on value. I haven't read anywhere near enough of Swift (I think I read Gulliver's Travels, oh, twenty years or so ago as a child) to say whether I am tickled or irritated by the comparison, but I must say I do like this line from his epitaph: "Go forth, Voyager, and copy, if you can, this vigorous (to the best of his ability) Champion of Liberty."
