Hi, Moejoe!
Curiously, what's wrong with the sentence "The famous man looked at the red cup."
I have very little sense of the English language, since I am Chinese.

He's a McDonald's Happy Meal (and you're just as ironically unhappy after you've consumed his plastic-tasting McLiterature). He's the Alpha and Omega of crap. He's the pinnacle of a reading culture that treasures the mundane, the stupid and the downright inane. He's the failure of the modern publishing industry personified. He has become the destroyer of worlds.
This is a sentence written by Dan Brown:
The famous man looked at the red cup.
The next time someone says to me "But we need the publishing industry to filter out the crap, to make sure we have quality. Books aren't just released without editing and proofreading, don't you know?"
Well, the next time I hear someone say that, all I'm going to say is:
DAN BROWN.
And that will be answer enough.  |
