That's banned in most states as too zany.

What, just because we've got a British born, American sounding, Gay bloke who can't die running around saving the Welsh and (rest of the-)British people's kids from being turned into organic spliffs by cheap-ish aliens in dry ice filled water tanks?



oh wait... I see you're point...

He then implies that the highlighted portion of the Atlantic ocean, between North America and Europe, is the body of water Not-"English Channel."

"Not-English-Channel"

or, for the mathematicians (and I fully support grammar moving in this direction):

Not-(English Channel)

I was just thinking, and would "Not the English Channel" be better?

See, folks?  This is what happens when you think.  Give it a try!  Even Liberator can do it; are you gonna let him show you up like that?  Also, if there had been thinking involved, the font "Sand" would not have been used.

Naw, this is just like coding.  You go to change X module and you find that you need to go into Y and Z modules to do the job right.

Yep. And then just when you think you've got it solved, this nasty font glitch pops up and–OH GOD!

(^ yes, that's what the inside of my brain looks like)

Substitute SPAM for SAND

You do realize that you do not insert hyphens between the words of a proper noun when creating this sort of phrase, no? The association is made in your brain, not on the page. (This is why I pointed out Frost's use of "English Channel" as the name of the region to which he was referring.)

If we're simply inventing punctuation rules, though, then I'll concede the win to the British education system. :D

SNAP!

saving the Welsh ...

Save Wales? From what? From who?

Oh wait, my last name's Jones. Except there's no "J" in the Welsh language.

I'm confused. Especially when I start yaking on about the Anglicisation of patronymic surnames like ap Sion to Jones. Damn confusing language, Welsh.

What was this topic originally about, again?

Well, at least it's not Comic Sans.

Some guy named Bart Olivia has lost his aspirations and is turning feral, apparently.  I think.  Poor guy; maybe somebody should take him in?

No no, you're thinking of Commie Sans.  Completely different font.  In communist Russia, font sets you and so on and so forth.

Why would not just erase if from history, then it will never be read again.
