I think you lost me there. I don't think I understand your question. I actually do try to speak in e-prime though I don't emphasize that to the person with whom I'm talking. I try to use it because it does appeal to my sense of accuracy.

Do we have different definitions? I consider e-prime as English with no "to be" verbs used. Do you have additional criteria?
