I could never get into Mark Twain’s stuff. I know he was a pioneer in his style and all that, but I don’t like dialect writing. I love Winston Churchill, though.

“but I don’t like dialect writing.”

Well,,,I meant something other than his Huck and Tom works. It’s a practical absurdity to say you can detect dialect in Twain, but not in Winston Churchill. He clearly has dialect too,,,
