JASNA mania

Ooooh, that actually sounds cool. Good word, mania. Woody sort of word.

Anyway, bit of side-tracking semi-homework, semi-geekness, semi-writing, semi-nonsense: a webpage comparing the frequency of certain words in Jane Austen's novels and letters with those of her contemporaries.

It's just one of those things you have to see and read and feel intellectual about.

:D

And back to saving the universe, one ... word ... at ... a ... time ...

  2. Oy! It's not fluff, it's intellectual trivia.
