Well I just reread Vineland and the news is still bad...

In terms of the difficulty of the diction, it is definitely 'superior', at 
least to me. GR is tough, of course, what with ctenophile, scumble, berm, 
flume, cullet, callipygean etc.

But M&D is really vicious in this respect: butter-bag, remontoire, chaunt, 
pass-bank, cilial, tagareen man, huddock, keel-bully, staitheman, mombly, 
etesian, nidor, droster, loblolly, mathesis, buzz-man, glaur, to name but a 
few.
