For example, from Gravity’s Rainbow:

…have I ever pretended to be anything I’m not? all I’m doing is plugging numbers…

I’ve read Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge, now starting Gravity’s Rainbow, and I’ve noticed this thing in all of them so far, both in dialogue and in the general narrative.

I like it, it kind of gives a different feeling to the text in a way that’s hard to explain coherently lol but was just curious if it’s actually supposed to mean something specific that I’m missing, or if it’s just a quirk of his (I don’t believe I’ve ever caught another author doing this).
