The problem with an early-learner edition is that then we'd have to actually think about the ideas we're writing about, instead of just grabbing a thesaurus, and thinking is just too time-consuming. Our approach, rather, is summed up nicely by Rachel Aspden in the New Statesman today: "65 per cent shattering banality presented in a froth of Latinate polysyllables" (and we're working hard to eliminate that remaining 35%).

Love your blog, though. But there are too many long words for me. Is there an abridged or Early-
