Dear English Language,

Why... why do you have to make my life more difficult? I have a lovely argument for my paper here that says Viola's choice of Cesario as her sexless (meaning neither male nor female) alter-ego is evidence of her careful tricks of language. To prove it, I need to be able to say that Cesario can be seen as a reference to Caesarian birth, bypassing the vagina, making it a reference to her adopting a male (though eunuch) persona. According to the OED's usage notes on Caesarian, I am off by a decade for that definition. A DECADE! A freaking decade! It's not fair! It's such an interesting point. (Okay, it's total BS, but it takes up space and sounds good.) Screw you, English!

SCREW YOU!

Minus fifty ♥s,
me

P.S. This is a public entry. Should I have used "hoo-ha" instead of vagina to protect innocence?

P.P.S. (Completely Unrelated) How many more Starbuck icons do you think there are on LJ now since Sunday? I'd bet on at least a 20% increase. I'm seeing them in the most random of places.

...because the English language is really a bastard combination of French, German, Latin, and god KNOWS what. And English GRAMMAR is a bastard because some fuckwit in the 1700s decided that what he viewed as Latin grammar (and for SOME reason, Latin was viewed as the uncorrupted language of God ro something) should be English grammar, even though English is not directly derived from Latin and that caused all sorts of problems.

Mix this together, and you get every single trouble we have with the bloody language more or less explained. English is a Frankenstein monster that is slowly trying to fix itself and failing miserably.
