re: content -- i didn't realize that such a neutral word as "content" would be taken as insulting. i meant it as a collective noun, not as a belittling descriptive.
But it's not a neutral word; and (in my experience) it's often used to devalue real and hard work. [fe]Anyone with access to a keyboard can produce "content." It's what the boss wants on the company website -- "An image, to show people Who We Are. . .and a little content, to fill it in."[fe]
A novel isn't "content," in exactly the same way a love letter isn't "content."
