Lady what writes #dictionaries, author of weird #nonfiction books, erstwhile TV cusser, and America's foremost "irregardless" apologist. rarely here; more often at bluesky.
Just debunked another oft-repeated claim about one of my book's subjects that's all over academic and popular literature. There's at least one of these per chapter. (This one's a quote. It's attributed to my writer _everywhere_, including in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.)
Y'all: if a slob like me can track down the original source material and check, so can you! I am not that smart/special!
Back to writing/hollering, see you brilliant folks in a few weeks.
