Follow the link to create your very own academic sentences, courtesy of the University of Chicago. This generator proves that the world of academia & academic constructions is composed of a seamless blend of absurdity (in that one can choose a few words from some word banks, throw it in to a sentence and it turns out seemingly philosophical) and beauty in prose, form, & phrasing. And yet, what does this actually show about the world of academia? What portion of our academic writings are comprised of unnecessary fluff and pretension and what portion are comprised of the true substance? And, what also, what is the true substance? In the written world it is increasingly difficult to find the true substance, it seems.
Who thinks I am a hypocrite with this post? I can't even write simply.
