Expected to have trouble with Lolita but so far it's entirely disarming. I don't have Nabokov's number yet - Keats meets Waugh is how he seems, but that must be wrong because it's impossible. One puff of Keats proves the impossibility of Waughs.

A grouping of Waughs should be called an impossibility.

I like that. Or it's almost a novel Byron would write after spending a weekend reading Keats & Waugh.

Nice - I'll proceed with that in mind. Many impossible things are possible with Byron.

Hence "a possibility of Byron's."

Hence "a ruination of autocorrects."

Yes! That!

I once turned off autocorrect, but it was so much more maddening to have to fix typos. It really lit up for me how bad I type on Apple devices.

It resets after updates, or at least used to, so I stopped bothering and just enjoy the anguish.
