Reply to comment by ToberOct in TIL the term "fairy tale" was coined by Marie Catherine d’Aulnoy to describe a collection of stories she wrote released in 1697-98. by ToberOct

Oh alright - list it, then. List the fairy tales she wrote that everyone is so familiar with.

Or you could accept that your reply to my (upvoted) comment that answered the natural next question about this person was a little self-centered. I wasn’t talking to YOU. I was speaking to the commenters in general.

And the redditor learned a very valuable lesson that day: Not all comments on their post are directed at them.

I didn't say you were talking to me. I already said I understood you meant you in general, which is why I did not respond saying yes I do. Instead I responded about redditors in general. Why on earth are you so hostile? I can't fathom why you are acting like this. Calm down.

I agreed with you that her fairy tales might not be well known to redditors, and I gave a thought as to why.
