- It has gone a bit Uncyclopedia, but I'd be more worried if it was likely to be referenced in an on-mission article. --Concernedresident 21:05, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ditto. Delete or redo? I can't think of why English as a language is relevant to RW.

Political English[edit]
There could be sections on 'English as spoken by politicians', 'Newspaper English'/'Headline-ish' and so on (including what can best be described as the literary equivalent of candyfloss/cotton candy - a few grains of sugar is turned into much sticky stuff, sold in larger quantities than one wishes to consume, and where the most substantial part of the whole is the stick or bag holding it: three ideas spooled out into 20 000 words with much use of near meaningless and virtually interchangeable terms that seem to have been created by a plot generator).
Also 'crocheted English' - John Prescott, Dubya etc. Jackiespeel (talk) 16:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
This wasn't very funny[edit]
