For me, the problem with “Rocinante” is I don’t know how to pronounce it. So, while reading, I’d skip past it, recognizing that it’s the horse, but not parsing it as a word.
If asked that question, I’d need to explain that, but I’d stumble over the word.
If a book has too many oddly (to me) spelled names, I’ll skip it for this reason. Apostrophes in the middle and no vowels, and I’m not going to read your book.

One less thing to clean and repair, I suppose.

You do, you just don’t know you do.
You also like egg salad sandwiches, made with Miracle Whip instead of mayo. With American cheese, and mustard.
Come on, admit it.

I’ll let the professional haters say it better than I could:
“Overexposed is a hit-seeking missile that doesn’t just slaughter Maroon 5’s reputation for sincerity, it festoons its corpse with glitter, hairspray and Hello Kitty Stickers.” — The Washington Post
“Once a real live band whose humanity, however glossy it might have been, could be verified by its mostly organic sound, Maroon 5 now appears to have converted into a silicone simulacrum of its former self with “Overexposed,” a collection of faceless android pop guaranteed to sound exactly like all the songs sequenced around it on Top 40 radio.” — News OK
- Comment on > In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and has been widely regarded as a bad move 1 day ago:
The book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill, and Monty Python on PBS, were my introduction to British humor when I was a kid growing up in California.
My brother took me to see Holy Grail and Life of Brian.
I dunno why British humor hits so well with nerdy kids.

Should be MediCAID for all. But, they’ve pushed MediCARE for all as a negotiation.
A lot of people don’t know the difference.
- Comment on Jury goes home for the day after Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer asks to remove juror who ‘refuses to listen to the law’ 3 days ago:
Fuck that title. They didn’t go home as a result of the lawyer asking to remove the juror. The juror wasn’t removed. The jury continued deliberations as normal. NOTHING HAPPENED.
Downvote this clickbait crap.

Poop. Yes, I thought he was the Dean.
Now that you mention it, yeah, he’s the President. I recall something about a woman becoming Dean.
Anyway, he’s funny af in this show, just like he was in Scrubs. Well worth watching. Rooster.
- Comment on Anon learns about cars 3 days ago:
Probably fake, but if it’s true, people don’t know what they don’t know.
To a whole lot of people mechanical devices border on magic. The gas goes in the hole, you push on the pedal and the car moves. That’s literally all they know. They don’t have any idea how an internal combustion engine works, much less an electric motor. They’ve spent their time learning things that are more important to them.
I’d hazard a guess that, apart from Bill Gates, the top billionaires are clueless regarding this stuff.
Hell, many race car drivers don’t know much about it, they just know how the car feels.
If you know the four-stroke engine cycle--intake, compression, ignition, exhaust--, you’re way ahead of 95% of people. Add to that how a camshaft controls valve timing and you might as well be a mechanical genius.
