spigot89's blog post - Does one trust a meme?

The sad truth is that it is easy to find a meme online to support virtually any point of view; almost as easy to create one specifically too. With this proliferation of memes and "motivational quotes" it is quite conceivable that the impact and validity of any individual post is diminished by over-saturation.

All that out of the way, I return to the question, can a meme be taken seriously? Some contain quotes which predate the internet by hundreds of years, in which case, I would say, yes.

The specific post I had in mind was the quote" "never underestimate the seductive power of a good vocabulary." I buy into this, in principle. Provided said vocabulary isn't attached to elitism or snobbish judgement of those who have less complete vocabularies. Texting language, with its abbreviations and quirks, has its place in our lives. So too does familiar speech, including the use of "obscene" words. Coming from England, people sometimes seem to assume of me that I make use only of long, scientific words even with respect to matters sexual. They are wrong... I enjoy a good fuck far more than engaging in coitus. I far prefer eating out a woman to performing cunnilingus on her. The vocabulary I use is tailored to the audience.

My final point being, in erotic stories, do people prefer to see manifestations of a good vocabulary or do they prefer very gritty, terse sentences? I can do both in my compositions, yet I would really love to know others' opinions as to which would work...
