Maybe that's what makes me enjoy the book (it reads like a train) and not being a linguist and an easy believer I accept the stain as just a minor stain. But I can understand and respect your irritations.
Faldage Imagine, if you will, William Shakespeare reading Neal Stephenson. Do you suppose he would find it readable?
We find hìm readable ( not thàt readable but readable enough to enjoy )
I'm sure if he would take a little effort, like we do for him, he could read the language but would need a generous list of annotations.
