Surely even if you think both are "very" destructive you can see the case of Dahl is far more extreme? Both his general style and as children's literature the prose often relies on lyrical or metrical effects which weren'

Wikipedia, incidentally, pegs the change at 1985(!). And as I wrote in another comment, it's definitely false it was only a title change.

These edits don't seem nearly as contentious, arbitrary, or destructive to the original prose as the ones in Dahl's works.

Though this is the first time the content of Christie’s novels has been changed, her 1939 novel And Then There Were None was previously published under a different title that included a racist term, which was last used in 1977. This is fa

A common magical technique is to perform the same effect in unrelated ways. There's no reason the sparks from the chair and the shocks from the sword have to be at all related.

Don’t fail to see Nyarlathotep if he comes to Providence. He is horrible—horrible beyond anything you can imagine—but wonderful. He haunts one for hours afterward. I am still shuddering at what he showed.

"CEO does a day of actual work" is great if it helps the CEO better understand quotidian business process and customer needs. It is a sham when it's used to counter disagreements from employees.

It is if you believe they don't have magical powers because God rarely gives people magical powers, and they fail to uphold His "virtuous, energetic, spiritual, values-driven society." Doubly so if you bring this up as a non-

No, this is a terrible idea and you're in for a world of pain. If you want to distinguish "not set" from "length zero" use a *[]T or ([]T, bool), not a nil vs. non-nil-empty []T. A nil slice is not any special kind
