In Reply to: Surely the finest review yet, of Master and Commander posted by clarkjohnsen on November 25, 2003 at 07:47:26:
"[T]he sight of this little fellow in the thick of the action will set the heart of any boy alight.""If we would have a future, we will train up a generation of Christian gentlemen like those which "Master and Commander" holds aloft for our admiration and emulation."
Who actually writes like that? The affectation is so thick, Alexander Pope himself would roll his eyes and tell the guy to give it a rest.
