Words are hard :(
And now, the newest addition to the short list of words that don't exist: vainglorious.

I do not know what "contumacious" means. I could highlight it, right-click, search Google for "contumacious," and look up the meaning, but that would be boring, so instead I'm going get really indignant and tell you to stop using words I don't know.

And I will attempt to explain myself and defend - actually, no, I'll just point and laugh and move on, which is why I'm not very good at internet arguments. I keep forgetting to take them seriously.

I'm no good at them because I'm not dedicated to my cause; I looked it up. Good word.

Its introduction into my life remains the only thing I am thankful to Charles Dickens for.

I feel very much the same about Jane Eyre and 'pertinacious'.

Ugh, Jane Eyre. I've tried to read it twice and failed a hundred pages in both times. I avoid classes focusing on female authors because I'm afraid I'd be forced to study it. At least Dickens grants me the favor of occasionally being readable.

Also, "pertinacious" = win. I have a weakness for big huge nineteenth-century-novel words.

Ah, see I'm the opposite. I loves me some Brontes, can't stand Chucky D.

Oh, I will never like Dickens. I'm just relieved because I'm studying Great Expectations right now and it's a hundred times better than A Tale of Two Cities, which I VIOLENTLY disliked. So I'm inclined to be a bit kinder about him than usual. I'm sure it will pass when the semester ends.
