Oh dear dear child

I hope it's a child anyway. I could forgive a child this.

An online review I happened upon of a film version of David Copperfield:

"Charles Dickens, who wrote this story, lived in the 1800's. He is the only author whose popularity has come near to equalling (sic) that of JK Rowling!"

Good to know CD is at least NEAR equaling JK Rowling.  I bet Fitzgerald and Hemingway are bummed though. Well, would be - if not for the whole being dead business.
