My biggest pet peeve is when people refer to The Divine Comedy as "dantes inferno", bc like. Thats not what its called! Its called The Divine Comedy!!! If u r going to act superior online about this poetry collection the LEAST u could do is refer to it correctly!!!

#sometimes people say 'inferno' when refering to the part called 'inferno' and that is valid #but using it to refer to the entire thing?#like people will just fucking out themselves as having never read a thing that they get Mad About on the internet #also dantes last name was alighieri #not sure why people INSIST on only calling him by his first name #its like calling the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman #The Tower of the Angels by Philip #(<- a random chapter title from The Subtle Knife)
