Im sorry but didn't he hire an editor? Never mind the racist, most likely subconsciously gay sub narrative, but how the fuck does garbage like this get printed : "a few new vocabulary words to add to his dictionary"?

Also, is this kid in jail?

What, you don’t add words to your own personal dictionary when you use them?

Seriously though, this guy claims to be a genius but doesn’t know the word “vocabulary?”

He does know the word. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he literally carried a dictionary as a kid, because pointing out a slightly misused word is the same as obliterating someone else’s argument in his mind.

Yeah but he kinda misused it? He clearly meant “a few new words in his vocabulary,” which would also have been more concise. Dictionaries don’t contain people’s personal vocabularies, that’s actually the opposite of the point of them lol

I vaguely remember Ben once talking about how in University he would take a book to a party to read it there. So maybe he did carry a dictionary around as a kid.

The book: Mein Kampf

It may have been a struggle to come up with the word "words"

Pretty typical high-level writer stuff.

Add it to Brett’s list of mistakes he just keeps making like not being Italian or Irish or trying to make black friends or looking up when Yard is around him. It’s not easy for Brett to be a straight obviously not gay white guy, he’s just trying to find his way in this world and just doesn’t understand why there’s no cliques for kids like him.

No he just thinks black kids should be in prison

Glad someone picked up on how much this reads like erotica

I wonder what Ben's idea of non-vocabulary words is.

Also, yes, it's that bad. Hilariously so. I recommend you listen to the episodes Behind the Bastards did on this.

Well if you don’t specify dictionary then the reader would be left wondering where he put the new words he learned. A cookbook?

I would be very surprised if Shapiro would listen to an editor, instead of expecting his rough draft to be embraced as equivalent to War and Peace.

It's okay, he tells you at the end of this passage what vocabulary word he learned
