Arrrghhh.........this is the reason why the world despises Americans. This woman should have noticed that lore, bore, store, and all those 'ores were typical Edgar Allen Poe writings. And she picked Captain! Oh, my Captain!...that was so simple. Sometimes you have to wonder if people do read, based on their occupations. And she was a bookstore owner. Of what? Needless Things...sheesh.
shareYes, not to connect "nevermore" or "lenore" with the Raven, and to be happy with words like "door" for a ship poem ("How do you get off the ship? I'll show you the door.") is the height of cultural illiteracy for a bookstore owner. Maybe "You've Got Mail" had a point about the tragic climate hastened by conglomerate bookstores.
Are near-misses in the news really near-hits?
"Arrrghhh.........this is the reason why the world despises Americans."
