LOL making a language isn't even hard, especially since you can just make up vocab on the spot. Learning the grammar of a foreign language isn't too difficult, it's a slough of new vocab and possibly inconsistent declensions / irregular words that make it difficult. 95% a memory game

Lisez Marx, Engels, Hegel, Debord et Bordigua. Ils agrègent une radicalité du redéploiement cosmique naturaliste. Leur dialectique universelle de la jouissance sacrale offre une schématique ontologique de distanciation insurrectionnelle régénérant la discussion du vrai-jouir dévoilé. Toutes les facticités du monothéisme réificateur fallacieux hédoniste aliène la conscience humaine dans le narcissisme pathogène de la rente nomadiste. Nous sommes choses bestialisées dans la grande cinématographie industrielle du faux médiatique. Nous sommes tous des âmes perdues dans la démocratie pornographique du pulsionnel imagé. La bureaucratie policière du factice frauduleux divise nos esprits dans une périodicité servile de néant névrotique. Le cosmopolitisme de la marchandise produit une déliquescence dictatoriale du jacassé boulimique de toutes les psychiatries déambulatoires. La logique formelle du capitalisme régente nos quotidiennetés banalisées dans le piège médiatique du supermarché nombriliste. La théâtralité spectaculaire de la marchandise abreuve nos consciences égarées dans la nébuleuse étatique de la fétichisation mortifere.
Divorcons d'avec le totalitarisme de la marchandise ! Ressuscitons la dialectique hegelienne de la totalité cosmique générique universelle sacrale face aux impostures constitutionnelles de la cathédrale idéologique de l'imposture chosificatoire du marché.

A liberal homosexual feminist Protestant was teaching a class on George R.R. Martin, known hack

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Gurm and accept that Planetos is the greatest fantasy setting of all time even greater than Arda!”

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, British WW1 veteran who had served 1500 tours of duty on the Somme and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all decisions made by Butcher Haig stood up.

”What are the linguistic differences among the peoples of Westeros?”

The arrogant proddie smirked quite schismatically and smugly replied “There is the Old Tongue and the Common Tongue, you stupid warmonger”

”Wrong. There should be hundreds of dialects. If the Wall is 8000 years old as you say, how can the Wildlings and Northmen understand one another?”

The HBO shill was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of A World of Ice and Fire. He stormed out of the room crying those redditor crocodile tears. The same tears redditors (who today live in such luxury most can afford sex changes) cried when Missandei was beheaded. There is no doubt that at this point our sola scriptura-faggot wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a garbage pulp fiction fan. He wished so much he could die a glorious death in battle, but he had sworn to always be a draft dodger!

The students applauded and became Tolkien fans that day and accepted the Pope as their Lord and Master. A giant eagle named “Thorondor” flew into the room and perched atop the flag of Gondor and shed a tear on the White Tree. Beowulf was read in the original Old English several times, and Eru Ilúvatar himself showed up and enacted Aragorn's flat rate tax policy across the universe.

The Lutheran was fired the next day and sunset found him squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up he was shitting brown water.

From what I understand, it started with Faulkner reviewing Hemingway, saying something like, "he doesn't have you running to the dictionary", which meant as a virtue, talking of his clear, concise language.

You're not making any sense at all. Either you're trolling or just plain stupid.
If one author prefers to write in a specific style (that is, the style which is appropriate to his material) and, according to you, could only to read other authors who write in a similar style, he is not well-read and denies the versatility of fiction.

That's like saying you, for example, like to draw pictures. You like to use graphite because you don't care to get charcoal everywhere. You go to a gallery and you see a charcoal drawing by a different artist. Someone standing beside you asks what you think, and you reply, "I hate it. It isn't graphite."

>Some samples of the language of the Dwarves, called Khuzdul, are also found in The Lord of the Rings. The situation here is a little different from the "Mannish" languages: As Khuzdul was kept secret by the Dwarves and never used in the presence of outsiders (not even Dwarvish given names), it was not "translated" by any real-life historical language, and such limited examples as there are in the text are given in the "original". Khuzdul was designed to have a "Semitic" affinity, with a system of triconsonantal roots and other parallels especially to Hebrew, just as some aspects of the Dwarves and the Jews are intentional.[16]

It was certainly not intended as a compliment; more to say, "Simple vocabulary for easy reading." The quote is: "He has never been known to send a reader to the dictionary."
Hemingway rightfully received it as an underhanded insult.

>>16027666
You're incorrect in your initial post and now you've posted a bad, oversimplified analogy. Just let it go.
(If you want a food analogy, here it is: Faulkner is a respected chef who's known for his elaborate and decorated dishes. Hemingway is also a respected chef, but known for minimalism and simplicity. Faulkner says, "He's never been known to surprise his diners." Hemingway replies, "Poor Faulkner. Does he really believe that a flavour and nutrients only come from pretty dishes?"

All fine and good, so say I was initially wrong, but the food analogy was for the anon who thought, "An author (any author) cannot laud a style different than his own." There's no reasoning behind this, it's completely illogical.

People who pride themselves on their intellect and ability to understand obscure texts typically take themselves too seriously. As a result they aren't funny. The things that they find funny have to affirm their intelligence in some way, which usually leads to reddit teir psued wank being posted because big words + esoteric references = funny to them
