Sheesh. These authors have no problem putting dark words into evil minds, or giving the hero a bon motte as he is launched in catapult over the castle walls. If their character is leading a doomed band against insurmountable odds on Crispin's day, by Thoth and Rodomonte the eloquence shall flow!
But then you get them in a forum as themselves and they go … 'uh'.
I remember getting to ask Professor Tolkien a question years back. A long question with Greek quotes. His answer: 'Huh. Yeah, I dunno."
And he was chewing gum , for god's sake!

You're quite right, Ray. Sorry. Real life was never my forte.
