Something else you may have wondered about …

… Why Kim Kardashian Can’t Write Good — The Daily Beast. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… Whatever what we might call her accomplishments, one does not sense a printaholic in her: She has other things to do. At the end of the day, what makes a fluent writer is rich exposure to the printed page, certainly during childhood and optimally beyond. I know a number of people whose social media prose is much like Kardashian’s tweet. They are quite diverse in educational level, temperament, class, and race. What unites them is that none read for pleasure.
