This whole article is offensive to my personal sensibilities. I suspect this is because (not that I'm as fancy as the author) I have at least a smidgen or shadow of taste, so not being able to ostentatiously display how dignified and fancy I am with a useless tome I would never reference isn't a terrifying prospect. I'll just have to develop other empty, meaningless ways to impress people, like having my think piece inexplicably hosted at neh.gov.

- hawkice 8y agoMost other comments here answer the question in the headline. The actual body of the article is an utterly ponderous exploration of dictionaries as signalling, to which I directly respond. If anything, my comment is perhaps the most on topic. Plus, your comment violates HN comment policy.
