Ugh, I hate when non-readers suggest stopping the book and going to bed.
LOVE the article about dragons! I enjoyed some of the comments on how the internet is changing language also, but it also seemed like its writer was trying too hard. I don’t think I’m really the target audience, since I don’t need convincing. 😉
