Footnote number 1 from the review:
1 The Oxford English Dictionary defines a teratoma as “[a] tumour, esp. of the gonads […]”.
Seems this word has been touched upon once before:

Yes, I'm serious, and no irony was intended. It's not a glowing review, I'll grant you (no pun intended), but it's certainly "witty and perceptive" and I'd welcome the opportunity to host it on this site just as I'd also welcome the opportunity to publish a favourable review should one be submitted, especially if it's as readable as Ian's.
It's important not to conflate the remarks by Ian over recent days in these forums with the contents of his review, by the way.
Noctifer:
It's more of an insult to the content of the rest of that site (which is brilliant) than to Grant. What a shame.

On the contrary, it's merely the extension of these self-same "remarks". I have no problems with Ian's critical remarks per se - I may not like his views, but will defend to the death his right to utter them. What I take exception to is the sheer vitriol and personal abuse, which might be expected in a primary school playground, but is surely out of place here on Lashtal.
Best wishes,
Michael.

Hummm, well that's a pretty tough thing to do when he's been ranting like a crazy person about Grant and anyone who respects his work for days now. I dont know how anyone's suposed to read his review objectively when it reeks of his frenzied prejudices-but then this is just my opinion which i'm sure is wrong... or Grants fault probably or whatever the fuck makes me in disagreement with Ian. I have a feeling he will come clear it up for me though , call it a hunch. Oh, and for the record, I realize Ian most likely didn't write it to be read objectively but more from his stand point of "self expression" or whatever he's doing.
