What a fun topic to comment on.
Well, as a person who is quite proud they haven't read a "book" in over twenty years......the last one I read was in high school...when I was forced to.
and as a person who spends more time at the library than most adults (or as a child, than children did) (I like pictures and ideas much more than words.)
My LEAST favourite, and most offensive word in the whole dictionary (well, I don't really know that many words, so this could change if I were to learn more).
DESERVE.
OH, my. What an insulting thing to say exponentially regarding one's self.
Nobody deserves anything (save for punishment).
Things can be earned, things can be worked for, but NEVER, EVER, can things be deserved.
Paul W, for instance, could have earned recognition through his hard work, determination, and skills,
but he surely didn't deserve it without doing so.
Meh.
