“English has spread like an invasive weed, implanting itself in nearly every habitat. It has created a world full of people ready and able to assist English speakers, wherever they may roam. A world almost designed for the convenience of the United States.”

Joan Didion
“I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not.

Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
