Took until page 110 for the author to grant themselves the "poetic license" that they've already been using quite liberally. "Allow me to tell you a story, to illustrate a point. And forgive me if I warp the plot a little to suit my needs—I hear by grant myself poetic license."
Like dawg, what have you been doing this entire time? Somehow she's only able to address her habit of getting off topic by over explaining

Now she's offering us a skippable part of the book! "And here is the long answer (which you can skip, if you'd like, but you'll miss two or three things about world languages)." Why would I want to skip this? This is why I picked up the book. And why are we at page 122 and only just now suggesting there are skippable portions of the book? I wish I was told I could skip the shallow anthropology lesson on page 80
