One of my favorite things is Pratchett writing about non-knowers interacting with Gaspode, who as a dog, OBVIOUSLY can't speak.
Daily Gaspode the Wonder Dog:
‘Yip,’ it said, and there was something wrong with this, too. William was aware that dogs like this yipped, but this one, he was sure, had said ‘yip’.
‘There’s a good …’ he began, and finished ‘… dog?’
‘Yip yipyip sheesh yip,’ said the dog, and walked off.

Can't wait to finish this one, even if Worlds will be taking a lot of time this weekend. Really has me hooked.
Daily Pratchett:
‘I would not dream of insisting. But the Times will collapse,’ said the chair, and this was the chair that other chairs listened to. ‘The young man is also an idealist. He has yet to find out that what’s in the public interest is not what the public is interested in.’

Continuing to love this
Daily Pratchett:
A couple of months ago someone had tried to hand William the old story about there being a dog in the city that could talk. William had explained that it was an urban myth. It was always a friend of a friend who had heard it talk, and it was never anyone who had seen the dog. The dog in front of William didn’t look as if it could talk, but it did look as if it could swear.

Pratchett does the news? Right in my Q-zone
Daily Pratchett:
‘I wonder who’s doing it?’ said Mr Prone, who travelled in wholesale boots and shoes.
‘Oh, they’d be special people for doing this,’ said Mr Mackleduff.
‘Really?’ said William.
‘Oh, yes,’ said Mr Mackleduff, who was one of those large men who were instantly expert on anything. ‘They wouldn’t allow just anyone to write what they like. That stands to reason.’

Daily Pratchett:
This had been a benefit in some ways. Not even licensed thieves tried to rob the Bucket now. Policemen didn’t like their drinking disturbed. On the other hand, Mr Cheese had never found a bigger bunch of petty criminals than those wearing the Watch uniform. He saw more dud dollars and strange pieces of foreign currency cross his bar in the first month than he’d found in ten years in the business.
