/lit/ - Literature

I'm confused, pals.

Why don't we use the "x" instead of "-cks," "-cs," or "-ks" at the end of words? "Clorox" for example still provides the same ending sound and is more condensed than "Clorocks"

The pessimism in the authors I've been reading it was almost coincidental. I didn't choosed that way, it was almost a aleatory correlation and now, when I look back, almost everything I've read lastly is charged with despair. I won't say it affected my conception of humankind but It probably will if I keep reading this ldesperate prosists. At the begining, the misery was an interesting aesthetic but I simply got tired of it. I'm asking for recommendations to take the bitter taste off my mouth. Does that make me a memed?
