The joy of libraries, and more
I’m reading Lo raro es vivir by Carmen MartÃn Gaite, borrowed from the Library of my University. Somebody decided to amend this copy of the book with sundry fixes to the author’s grammar and spelling. Except that, of course, none are needed, and whoever made these changes can’t actually read (confusing unusual but valid constructs with not valid grammar), and doesn’t seem to have a clue of what an alternate spelling is, either. Joy.
But maybe this post is only an excuse to recommend The Orphanage, this year’s Spain’s submission to the Best Foreign Language Film Category (which I really enjoyed!), and to point to Urban Dictionary re today’s xkcd.
