| Oct 9, 2019 at 15:47 | comment | added | Ectropy | As someone who read A Series of Unfortunate Events as a teenager, I really enjoyed Snicket's asides, even when I already knew the definition of the word. Generally the definitions or examples he used were humorous, so it didn't come across as a vocabulary lecture. | |
