okay so we all know that Skulduggery likes to show off in front of young Val. So just imagine him using lots and lots of long, complicated words in order to confuse her. And Val being the little shite she is obviously has to do something against it, so she starts reading dictionaries to be able to keep up with him. Especially, when he´s stuck with the faceless ones she reads them almost obsessively. Consequently, she starts to sound really snooty, whenever she talks. Unfortunately she won´t break her habit of cursing, so anything tat comes out of her mouth is just an utter mess.
Half of the time Fletcher has no idea anymore what she´s even talking about. China secretly thinks it´s the most hilarious thing ever. Tanith has no idea what to do. How the fuck do you handle a fourteen year old whose favorite book is a dictionary? And Ghastly, being the “responsible” one, is just really creeped out. He swears to himself to never! let! another kid! near Skulduggery! ever! again!!!
What’s the difference between the US Capitol and Mordor?
One does not simply walk into Mordor

“ the fact is that we have no way of knowing if the person who we think we are is at the core of our being. are you a decent girl with the potential to someday become an evil monster, or are you an evil monster that thinks it’s a decent girl? ” — “ wouldn’t i know which one i was? ” “ good god, no. the lies we tell other people are nothing to the lies we tell ourselves. ”
These are so amazing!! I've never agreed with any SP cast ideas, but if those were real people, I'd cast them 100%.

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
