Five separate serious attempts, I reckon? Might have been as many as 20 altogether.

Same here. Reminds me that Reddit was mostly techy posts for the first while too.

I think he/she is on a mission to reform English orthography. This is their personal evangelism. I’m ok with it.

Art, as the old adage goes, is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. It certainly is work, if you’ve ever sculpted an eight foot block of marble, or memorised one of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. And it doesn’t leave much time for paying the rent. The question is whether we compensate people for art, such that they can keep doing it. Does society invest in it, so that people of limited means can participate and have their voices heard? This debate has existed for thousands of years.

I’m sure astronauts love their work too, but they still get paid. Artistic endeavours cannot be reserved solely for the idle rich.
