ya, I did

I googled Mrs. Malaprop. I haven't read the play and looked at it on line, but it's old lanuage and too hard to read there for me. I'd need an annotated copy anyway. It's 17th century, Sheridan, The Rivals, I think is the title. Or perhaps a DVD would work. I don't know the story, though, and background always help with older works. And it's giant snauser, I think, not standard. I should look it up. For the spelling.


I know, I left a verb agreement problem and a screwey sentcence earlier.

I meant that I don't know of another author to compare Heyer to other than Jane Austin, not that she writes like her more than other authors do.

Language can cause lots of problems as well as solve them.
