I started reading “Fourth Comings” by Megan McCafferty last night and read this in the very first chapter:
“‘I’m Jenn,’ I lied. ‘With two n‘s.’
‘Two n‘s?’ … ‘And how do you defend this blatant overuse of unnecessary consonants?'”
SEE? Now here’s the funny – the character’s actual name is Jessica, and her nickname is Jess. But nowhere in the book is there conversation about blatant overuse of unnecessary consonants in that name.
I can’t honestly tell you what point I’m trying to make (or if I was even attempting to make one in the first place). In fact, I’ve confused myself even further.
Yikes.
It’s okay, keep confusing yourself – you’re cracking me up!!
