...just in time for Valentine’s Day, is this year’s most recognizable, personal and usable website. While still flawed, it is vastly superior to its predecessor, Crimsonhookups.com. Likely none have forgotten that now sadly deactivated site, a service so devoid of even the slightest hint of human emotion that the experience of using it felt more like activating a computing account than searching for love...

...hopeless,” “nonsense,” on the one hand; “doubtless,” “obvious,” “unquestionable,” on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, antiacademic languor at this stage as well may match the grader’s own mood: “It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists—at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous—that smile as we may at its follies...
