There was a plethora of plenipotentiary plinths in the narthex.

While I'm as much of a logolept as the next guy, threads shouldn't derail because of our logomachical strepsirrhine. Enough of this floccinaucinihilipilification indeed.

Hødør!

I had to look it up in the dictionary. What appears at first sight as a random growl, has an intricate meaning, grounded in ancient culture and Nordic ritual. Hødør is an ancient word, used as an intervention, with a very specific, intricate meaning.

It means: 'I am sitting in my meadhall, surrounded by my warriors. I am nearly finished with that roasted wild boar. I'm drinking beer by the gallon out of the skull of the man I slew earlier today. Note that it is nearly empty. I shall soon need a refill. So I suggest you people stop your effiminate chatter full of fancy words and instead find me another keg of beer real soon or I'll start to rip off random limbs'.

(yeah, I know, I should have put the subjects in spec VP and then showed how they moved to spec TP . . . so sue me)

edit: and oops, forgot to capitalize Buffalo the city except for the first one. The two Buffalo's on the leftmost NP branches should also be capitalized.

Re: Do as we say, but don't do as we do.

carbon must be reduced, yet we close our plant only for the same capacity and more to open in other countries, while the company doing the opening and closing rakes in more than a billion in carbon credits, all which is paid for by the british taxpayer who now hasn't even got that 'horrible' polluting job anymore:
