Do you like English?

I bought "Doing Our Own Thing. The Degradation of language and music, and why we should, like, care" for the title alone.

The author, John McWhorther, argues: "To be a modern American is to lack a native love of one's language that is typical of most humans worldwide. I suspect that many Americans reading this do not consider themselves as feeling much of anything about English pro or con--and that is exactly the point."

NEO magazine

I had a story (not from MLAFT) accepted by Neo magazine, a university press at Portuguese Azores. They usually publish more than one story from an author so they want me to submit more.
