    @Archie:

    I believe that should be an m-dash between “So” and “at last,” rather than an n-dash with spaces.

    Also, I’m sure the word “At” should be capitalized.

    And you might also have to grant exceptions to people who have to type with talons, and who communicate in their own lignua latina.

    I hope they don’t come after me.¹

    ¹ I use footnotes with abandon, and without using a reference manual.

    Ah, footnotes. The bane of my former existence. I bend down and kiss the ground computers walk on. Also style manuals. For without them, we wouldn’t know how to structure a footnote.

    One of the guys doing the stoning is grabbing his crotch. What’s up with that?

    That’s for later, when they punish him for what he did with the Citations.

    It’s okay: it’s actually a pomegranate!

    Stoning seems an entirely appropriate punishment for the deadly sin of ignoring the style manual, but then I used to write style guides/manuals. Divine wrath is nothing beside the fury of a chief sub-editor whose tablets of stone have been cast aside by feckless, gormless, misbegotten hacks.

    This image captured the moment just prior to his possibly being stoned to death. He has six stones at his own disposal and he sits there on his knees begging to the single crotch-holder. He’s the only one wearing a dress (no belt) and the only one with long hair. He and the ‘leaders’ are the only ones with long sleeves and their legs covered.

    This being the case my submission is this. His defense is he used endnotes, not footnotes, and the publisher simply omitted this text; all a simple misunderstnding.

    Yes, a tragic and potentially fatal misUnderstanding
