People are starting from basically Zero and I’m not sure how workable that really is.

My daughter once told me of a well-degreed academic she knew of who wouldn't read Dickens because his writing was so hard to understand ... he used so many "big" words.

It was/is a little hard to read Dickens - for me - because he was such a master at the art of dialect. I think of Dickens as the English Mark Twain.
