Reading Soloecista | Alexandria
Read Soloecista by Lucian. Exposing linguistic snobbery and pretense, Soloecista cleverly skewers pedantic grammar critics through a satirical dialogue where a grammarian's own speech fails basic rules. This witty takedown proves language policing has long been a tool for social gatekeeping, while demonstrating how obsessing over "correct" usage often misses language's true purpose: clear communication.
