Sorry Cons, but what the heck does cratering sales mean?
- I'm one of those old fogies who knows the difference between "affect" and "effect" and therefore has no need to say "impact". I have managed to put up with things that never rise or fall but always "spiral". I manage to put up with people "battling" illness, "bracing" for unfavourable weather.
- And here we go.... why do people "author" books these days? In my day they wrote them. Next we will have Shakespeare (who died 400 years ago this week - did you know?) playwriting or in the case of the sonnets poeting them. Poeming perhaps.

- The cratering sales term is a direct quote of something Vox Day wrote so I cannot change it. The rest of my mini-rant was nothing more than a general whinge at the increasing prevalence of certain buzz-words infecting my wonderful language. (And if anyone wants to discuss my use of my in that sentence, you're welcome....) AlanE (talk) 21:21, 27 April 2016 (EDT)
