That was my impression as well.

As one who has had some experience writing fictitious dialogue, and knows how difficult it is to try to put real-sounding words in someone else’s mouth, I found the dialogue to be anything but that of two live people. I have no knowledge of the two individuals to whom the exchange is attributed, so that’s just my impression.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
