* "The Eyes Have It" is a short comedy by [[Philip K. Dick]] where [[The Narrator]] believes Earth is infiltrated by aliens after reading a line in a novel in which a character's eyes "moved about the room". References to characters having "no brains" or "no spine" only [[Bizarre Alien Biology|reinforce his apprehension]]. In the end however the protagonist decides not to do anything about the [[Alien Invasion]]. He doesn't have the stomach for it. |

* Lion Feuchtwanger, in his realistic fiction novel ''[[The Oppermanns]]'' repeatedly insults the grammar of [[Mein Kampf|My Battle]] and on at least one occasion insults the grammar of "nationalist" (i.e. Nazi) newspapers. Lion doesn't assert that crappy grammar is ubiquitous among Nazis, as the character Dr. Vogelsang is said to have good grammar (except when he's quoting other Nazis). Also the character Rector François is fussy about grammar. |
