Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?

Man such a bastard language. Only reason it's popular is because of the US.

Er, no. The US has certainly contributed, but the British Empire spread English far and wide.

Not really, The US is the sole reason everyone is learning English. Think of Spain, they created the language, but Mexicans are the only reason anyone in the US bothers with spanish. Same with english, nobody does it to communicate with the brits, fuck the brits, it's to do trade with Americans. It just happens to have a side effect that you can do trade in britland.

Actually, I believe we can blame the British Empire for that.

The US only took it to the next level.

It would not be as nearly as popular as it is now without the US leading the charge.

I really can't tell if you're joking. It works at any length. I happened to choose seven. There's nothing special about eight.
