As a devoted NPR listener and someone who works at an NPR affiliate station , I love this recent Slate piece by Farhad Manjoo about the comments snooty listeners make anytime anything remotely pop culture comes on the air.
But, I almost equally love this comment below the story:
“For proof that NPR letter-writers are the stodgiest, whiniest, most self-importantly insufferable snobs of all time…”
…Says the author who recently wrote an article on the imbecility of anyone who uses two spaces after a period.
Best be careful, you’re over 30 now. Self-important insufferability may just be sneaking up on you too.”
Hahahaha, while I agree with the double spacing lament (I fix that shit every day at my afore mentioned place of employment), it was a pretty insufferable article — one that, of course, all my NPR-listening friends passed around.
