Some acclaimed authors are resorting to similar methods to gain their readers' interest. One author stated: "I usually provide a definition for my reader in the paragraph. I note that my reader is probably too stupid to get the word or perhaps too lazy to get off the couch to search for the definition." Providing definitions for the reading public has been gaining attention recently. Some defined words clearly underscore the stupidity of the reading public and question how many of the readers out there got through a high school English course. While authors continue to insert sentences like this one (You fucking moron...how could you not know that word?), readers remain unfazed by the insults and search for the meaning of their life in some of their favorite author's passages.

Authors finding their readers weally stupid...
Many successful authors out there are finding that their readers are not intelligent. Some authors are now resorting to using colorful words in order to make their readers pay attention to the text. One out of three fiction readers claim that they skim on a regular basis--often times not picking up the gist of the plot. These skimmers are in several states and seem to be multiplying as the recession worsens. People are just not giving a fuck about anything anymore. A well-crafted sentence seems to be falling by the wayside. Readers don't plan on giving their full attention until the economy shows signs of improvement.
