Uh la la. You touch my tra-la-la. With your ogonek.

So is that more or less of an honor than the ATypI medals? ;)

The OED is BIG...in more ways than one.

One of these days, Adam will be in the owl book -- Who's Who.

(On the other hand, maybe as a pointed remark, my mother use to say the last part of the owl's call was "who cooks for yooou." Which should open several lines for Chris to develop . . .)

Funny the things that aren't in the OED. Guillemets? (Yeah, I know the word is French by origin, but we use it in English...)

Guillemets?

Did you look under “guillemot”?

Didn't you hear, they took the word "guillemot" out of the dictionary :-)

@James: If the OED had been written by the people behind Fontlab, I might have done...

@Si: I know they took the word "gullible" out of the dictionary (and gulls are quite similar to guillemots) :^)

@dtw: If the OED had been written by the people behind Fontlab…

… what a strange world it would be.

> my mother use to say the last part of the owl's call was "who cooks for yooou."

That’s only for the Barred Owl, whose call is typically characterized as “who cooks for you, who cooks for you all.”

How do you say "Sir Adam" in Polish?

Szanowny Pan Adam (honourable) or
Wielce Szanowny Pan Adam (Right Honourable)

"Wielce Szanowny Panie Adamie! "
Thanks, Jan!

Add this to his two bronze medals awarded in the 2007 Og-lympics.

Some well-designed guillemot :)

Delighted to see this.

I do not, however, recommend attaching ogoneks to the baselines of the guillemots. It makes it much harder for them to fly.

Still not a peep from Adam? He must have so many new social engagements that he does not have time ;-)
