Pick one word that you connect with Dickens. What is it?
Damn I wish I could remember it. It's a word that no one uses and when I saw it I thought it was a misprint of "prevaricate" because it was obviously along the same lines in meaning, but it was like perstication or pervastication or something like that.This one. Really. It's bothering me. A lot. I looked through the damn book and can't find it. I don't remember what it is. This is my native language and so it's bothering me a WHOLE HELL OF A LOT.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
