I'll second this. The style is clunky and reads as though the author were trying too hard to make every sentence entertaining which mostly detracts from the work. I know Stephen Merity is a serious researcher and the content here is legit given his body of work. But the style /prose in this preprint reminded me a lot of the some of garbage Siraj Raval peddled. Again, to reiterate, I am not commenting on the substance, only the style.
