Great observation. I should have included the disclaimer that this is dating advice only. I would never advise a married person in this manner.

Both wise and unwise at the same time. A provactive and logical line of thought, this blog is..for those who are married, what is the meaning and value of wedding vows, to remain through better or worse..

If you vote you have no right to complain. It’s the rest of us who are stuck with your idiotic decisions that have the right to complain. On the margin, a single vote doesn’t change anything so I don’t participate. When my inalienable rights to life, liberty, and private property are violated I have the right to complain while those idiots who do participate get exactly what they are asking for.

Now I still haven’t started it, so I’m guessing it has something to do with the distortion of the English language in the future. But I can’t find anything online that explains that! I’m trying to give them some credit, but I’m not finding any evidence that it was intentional.

I guess we are in this together, Mike!

Hmm, the first thing I noticed was that “capitol” was capitalized, which makes it a proper noun. It doesn’t necessarily have to adhere to any formal definitions; it’s simply the name of a place within the novel.

Or perhaps I’m missing something? I tend to do that .

You’re certainly not alone, Jacqueline; I find typos and other discrepancies in writing sometimes, and it’s especially distracting since I was a college tutor and professor at one point. It’s like a splinter in your mind.

I’m starting the Hunger Games myself after reservations similar to yours (young adult books aren’t something I actively seek out), and the writing so far isn’t bad at all.

Thanks for sharing.

That’s very possible. I just can’t find it anywhere that explains that the word was used intentionally and why.
