Very cool. I think every state should have a Chesterton plate, and the proceeds should go to the ACS.

Every few days I am at a stop light and there's yet another car in front of me has a Pennsylvania licence plate of the form:
ReplyDeleteGKC-0000
They probably thought those were just three random letters.
But if I were getting a vanity plate, I would want it to be the title of one of GKC's poems.
The problem is, not even a "hummer" is wide enough to hold
"Plakkopytrixophylisperambulantiobatrix"
Incidentally, at the conference, I heard some of the "Love2Learn" kids say it... I forget which, but they were VERY young. I wish I could say it as well as they can. Hee hee.

Ok, let me give it a shot. Here goes... "Plakkopytrixophylisperambulantiobatrix"
ReplyDeleteHow did I do? ;-)
Seriously, we should have a contest next summer on saying that title.
I couldn't hear.... uh - hold on - this machine doesn't have audio... (hee hee)
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was a Midwest accent... hee hee. (I have a friend who told me how she tried to learn French, but it always sounded Texan.)
The whole trick is to work out the syllables. It's not that hard - compared to that place in Wales with all the double-Ls.
But I have a question: are you COPYING that, or do you know how to SPELL it?
That can be the other part of the contest. Scrabble games for the winners.
