    Not only that, but the quotation marks are inconsistent.

    Yeah, that's a capital cursive G. I mean, not a great one, but that's the general shape.

    Your version is just more slanty and has fewer loops, but the general shape is pretty much the same.

    ^I've searched that image and the only thing I get is people poking fun at it -in much the same way it pokes fun at something....

    Thing is: I haven't got the faintest idea just exactly what that something is :(

    ^I've only watched the first ep yet so I don't get that either.
    ^:rommie: Thanks! - didn't help me understand what's going on (didn't that sword come from a stone or an anvil or something? -or is that just a Disenyism or a Pratchettism?) -but always nice to see something from those guys :bolian:

    Did give me something to google though.

    ^That's the comment I found while searching around for meaning of that image :)
    AND which writing to use for capitalization! some of those are cursive (the G) and some aren't (most, if not all, of the rest -they definitely aren't the capitals I was taught back in the seventies).
