Poster I saw the other day:
Mm. I hate to nitpick, but there is maybe a slight problem with the way you are visezing for your objectif to speak English the way they do on Wall Street...
(And I don't just mean that your Union Jack is upside down. That's the least of your problems with it.)
(How do I know it's upside down? From the fimbriation of the ordinaries, that's how.)
(Oh, and please don't tell me it's the Union Flag if it's not flown from a ship. That's one of those facts that every uncle knows, but isn't actually true. You definitely don't call it the Union Flag at sea, but both terms are acceptable on land, and personally I like 'Union Jack'.)
(In the brackets above, I initially wrote 'That's one of those facts that every uncle knows, but if you said it on QI, the klaxon would go off.' But then I checked, and annoyingly someone did say it on QI, and the klaxon didn't go off. But it should have done.)
(That's a lot of clarifications. Maybe I don't hate to nitpick after all.)
