Back in university I had a couple of classes in linguistics and “medieval German”. At the end of every semester I had to write 1-3 papers, each one roughly 12 to 15 pages long. This was a requirement to questions that sometimes could be answered in like 3 pages.
So I started stretching one sentence into two. Two into four. They got longer and longer. Until they read like the most brain dead, pretentious shit imaginable. And I got goooood at it. So I recognise that crap when I see it. The author did exactly the same. Fuck that guy.
