“Simplifying helps”, that’s what this swishism is basically saying, right?

But this reading omits the clause “without inviting simplism”. (Simplism just means an instance of oversimplifying something, I had to look it up, too!)

Still think the basic reading is helpful? or is it simplistic?

Holler with your thoughts, this is the first in a series of short posts on the subject. Shout out to the World’s Strongest Librarian for getting me thinking about this in his Blogging is a Dialect post today. It’s true of blogging, and swishisms but in a more general sense, too. In the parts to follow, I’ll try and show you what I mean.
