I just got to the part of Cryptonomicon where Waterhouse goes to the embassy of Qwghlm. What. The. Fuck. I feel like I've fallen in a hole and landed in a Terry Pratchett novel. (Which novels are good, but rather different from the book I'm reading now.)
He does, however, manage to invent and use the word "preäntepenultimate". With diaeresis. I think I'm in love.
