Why Swift?

Dear Suze: I'm already reading that book. A college professor of mine from years ago recommended it. By recommended, I mean it was suggested reading for a class. I didn't read much of it then, but luckily I kept it for situations just such as this.

I suppose I chose Swift because he was such a proponent of standardizing the English Language (Baugh 267). Then again, maybe I chose it simply because it’s a fun story. If you and I were speaking, I’d be shrugging at you right now.

Best,
B
