*To clarify, I am using the collective "you". I am not intending to call out any specific person.

Some people like to read popular books, but skip over the sex scenes. Some people like to read popular books, but skip over the really scary parts. Some people like to read popular books, but skip over the technical science explanations. Some people like to read popular books, but would prefer to skip over the profanity.
