Re: GoGoD marks Go Seigen's centenary
Indeed thank you for the pdfs. One day I will perhaps be good enough to understand them.
I made an observation about writing and word usage, just a humble note. If the audience of a text is thought to be global, consider not using localized idioms and thinking. Essex Girls and what that contains is rather connected with British culture as far as I know?

Please don't, I really love those references even if I don't understand them at first. They make the text so much more enjoyable.

There’s no easier way to eradicate culture than to “normalize” it, to flatten it, to … bulldozer over it.virre wrote:[..] If the audience of a text is thought to be global, consider not using localized idioms and thinking.

I appreciate texts that stimulate/challenge my curiosity, that leave something to do for me.
