Reply to Have books gotten more expensive? by syncomatic_columbia
I have a lot of books from the 60s or 70s with a page at the back listing other books from the publisher you were meant to rip out and mail with orders, and the prices were like 69p-99p lol

Reply to My problem with Sci-Fi... by IR-Master
I love weird scifi like Flatland, Dancers at the End of Time, The Culture, the Cenobites in Hellraiser, strange concepts and strange visuals, but that sort of "grey people in grey jumpsuits on a grey ship" scifi usually puts me off... unless it's the first Alien movie
It's not always but I know what you mean lol, if it's not Scientist Guy, it's Soldier Guy who has an authority problem

Reply to comment by blueshark27 in Where did the English language REALLY come from? by MagicRaptor
I think it's just people who speak English only and think it's a uniquely crazy language lol, anyone who speaks anything can tell you about loan words, language families, weird grammar rules and all that
