Dear Helena Michie

I know you're a feminist critic and like to show off how clever you are. However, if you are going to use concepts such as "synecdoche" and "metatrope" in your essays, please be so kind as to remember a lot of us are thick and have absolutely no idea what the hell they actually are. It would particularly help those of us who are expected to give a presentation on your work at stupid o' clock on a Wednesday morning.

Love Brackers.

PS: Not even Google seems to know what "metatrope" is. And Google knows everything.

PPS: I've always been taught at uni to EXPLAIN EVERYTHING that the reader may not know. Epic fail, Ms. Michie.
