> I think it is sad that anyone other than an English major would even consider buying this book. If it ever makes the best seller list I may consider moving to some other country where useless fiction is truly appreciated.
> Another thing that's great is something I discovered while reading Calvin and Hobbes (*sniff* it's gone now). It's that words do not have a fixed meaning. So, if you change the meaning of words, their's nothing your teacher can do about it. Like the fact that you could make the word "pumpkin" synonomous with good. Through this, English can become an exclusivist code. Isn't it great?

Yes... I miss calvin and hobbes too. It was full of such great wisdom. ~sigh~ Well, yes tht is true. ~heh heh heh~ I've been wanting to learn some crazy langs because then when she's old and waltzing the line of insanity (don't get me wrong... she already is) I can call her and talk to her (in english) with the perfect grammar of another country. something wierd... like Basque.

June, Cadbury wellspring enough!
