How absolutely lovely that the NYT BR of "Lucky" weighed in with about three sentences. However, the NYT front page item about certain objections to a SINGLE word--many paragraphs.
"Oh, what fools [some librarians] be."
I hope that in those regions where people swoon at a word there is public library where a young person can borrow a book.
To avoid using a real word, is it "o.k." to spell it incorrectly?
