Cultural Exchange
And if you haven't had enough of me writing about sports this week ... this Sunday is the first regular NFL game outside of North America, in Wembley Stadium, which Mrs. Werbenmanjensen and I will be attending. (One of Mrs. W's English colleagues said to her, "So it's rugby for wimps?") The Guardian, which yesterday informed us of acceptable elocution in the House of Commons, including the use of scatological terms, noted without comment that while fans of the Miami Dolphins call their team the "Fish," dolphins are actually mammals.

I think we should all welcome the newest commenter to this blog, MKOK. Or should we call him or her HN instead?
Yes, he or she is a very enthusiastic commenter! And he or she is an accountant from Afghanistan.
We like enthusiastic commenters.
I just KNEW s/he was from Afghanistan. S/he gave him/herself away with her/his word order.
Oh, yes, I forgot: Welcome MKOK!
Yes, yes, thank you. I have moved
temporarily to the United States
to escape my country's unrest.
