legit though, it's so clear that DFW wanted to be seen as smart it's a little sad. virtually everything he's ever written is a plea to be taken seriously and one up smarter writers by being self-deprecating.

Towards the end his wife put him on a more or less constant suicide watch. At one stretch, she didn't leave the house for more than a week. But then he seemed better and one day Wallace persuaded her to go out. "You don't go to the chiropractor if you're going to kill yourself," she thought. When she came back to the house he had hanged himself from a trellis on the patio. He left her a two-page note and a stack of what he could salvage from that difficult last novel among the lamps in the garage where he used to write.

That lisp is the platonic archetype of the most grating kind of faggotry, which to be fair, is already widespread in the garlic belt. But it definitely reaches it's maximum in Catalonia. therefore anyone who would willingly associate with that region is also a fag

For the most part, it's a Spaniard thing, not a Catalonia-only thing. It's been like that for centuries. Otherwise "casa" (house) and "caza" (hunt), among other terms, would sound the same. You may not like it, mut it makes sense. Where are you from?
