I HATE TO

I hate to say the whole back in my day thing, but when I and I was reading and I came across a word that I didn't know, happened to ask my dad, hey, what does scrying mean? Do you... His response was, look it up. By the way, this was before the age of smartphones, alright? I had to use an actual physical dictionary to look up these words because that's half of the reason that you read books, it's to expand your vocabulary. And now that we do have smartphones, it's easier than ever to look up words that you don't know. You don't have an excuse. Don't tell authors to dumb down their writing. You look up the words or if you don't want to read at a lower reading level, it's okay to admit that you can't read adult books. Go down to young adult until you figure it out. Good god, sometimes the reading community just pisses me off.
