It also details the origin of the dog's bollocks : — a "restful pause".
![Text in image reads:
In 1622, in Nicholas Okes' print of William Shakespeare's Othello, the typographical construction of a colon followed by a hyphen or dash to indicate a restful pause is attested.[8] This construction, known as the dog's bollocks, was once common in British English; though this usage is now discouraged.[9][10][11]
As late as the 18th century, John Mason related the appropriateness of a colon to the length of the pause taken when reading the text aloud, but silent reading eventually replaced this with other considerations.[12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jyjpxmzwf2sbmhhkbvnukp2s/bafkreigr3zg6lb6sy5ewzzwxlcwazg4g5jrl7iay6gx2bqfjxxg7q3dhxm@jpeg)

When I read "Le Guin's Omelas" I shouted "YES!" aloud (and shocked my cat awake, sorry, Momo!)
Always a top rec.
Coincidentally, I was just thinking of rereading Omelas today for writing inspiration. Thanks for the sign, Universe!
The Gardener is now next up on my to-read list.
