Been watching the saga a while, figured it was time to get involved. I'm not normally part of the IHM but Chris is too damn funny to leave alone. I want to get in on PVCC, #sonichu, etc, but for now I'm ok reading Cwcipedia and trying to keep Cwcki current.

I'm thinking of adding a section on Chris's bizarre use of repetitive phraseology, but whether that deserves its own article, or should be merged into another article (such as Chris and English), or whether it should simply be mentioned individually in each appearance, I don't know. All I have so far are scattered notes.

Chris and Repetition

Chris is extremely fond of repeating himself. A number of his favorite phrases and concepts are reiterated over and over again nearly verbatim. Examples include "a Boyfriend-Free Girl to make into a Sweetheart From the Ground-up," and his assertion that the idea of "Date Ed" sounds "dated" and that "sex ed is fine for after the third date." There are a number of possible explanations for this.

-Chris has trouble forming ideas into sentences, and when he finds one that he thinks works well, he simply reuses it over and over

-Chris thinks that some of his CWC-isms are funny jokes and bear repetition

-Chris is so lazy he literally copy-pastes blocks of texts from earlier screeds and manifestos into later ones

-Chris is simply terminally unimaginative and cannot think of more than one way to express an idea.

Given what we know about Chris, any or all of the above are possible. A large number of the phrases collectively known as CWC-isms are repeated like the above.
