Wishing ye all a joyous time, a cool yule, a happy Solstice,Xmas, Hanukkah & New year
Musical types, please write us a rousing march to go with these lyrics:
Farewell millennia
Farewell millennia, come hear the pipes and drums,
We need no more millennia, we've got millenniums.
Knock down all the stadia, we're building stadiums,
Don't listen to the media, but heed the mediums.
Fungi, cacti, octopods, are on endangered ground,
But octopuses, cactuses and funguses abound.
We can't eat healthily, we eat healthy today,
Unable to creep stealthily, we'll creep stealthy away.
Those with knives will soon have knifes and those with loaves will soon have loafs
And all the dwarves will soon be dwarfs as sure as oaths are oafs.
Our ova are now ovums and our leaves have switched to leafs,
Our wolves have changed to wolfs but we hold on to old beliefs.
There are no more phenomena, we have phenomenons,
But does this mean curricula are now curriculums?
Things that once were broken are now only broke,
Folks who once were woken are now only woke.
If you say radiuses, and radii are dead,
Wait until you lose both feet and grow two foots instead.
Notice MS spellchecker thinks none of this is wrong,
And that's why people find it hard to learn your native tongue.
So farewell millennia, sound the pipes and drums,
We need no more millennia, we've got millenniums.
lots of love
Ishnavar the Fortunate
