Overall:
Szmenderowiecki , hooks are great, I personally prefer ALT1. And what do you think of this one? It would be mix of hook 1 and 2 and is below the 200 characters without bold and wls. ... that "In God We Trust" appeared as a motto the first time in 1748 in Pennsylvania, is displayed on coins of the United States since 1864 and as of 1955 the motto must appear on all U.S. currency?
- "As of" sounds as if it were a requirement in 1955 but now we aren't sure whether it's still a requirement 65 years later (it is still law).
- My version: ALT1+2: ...that "In God We Trust" appeared as a motto the first time in 1748 in Pennsylvania, that it was first struck on U.S. currency on a 2¢ piece in 1864 and that since 1955, the motto must appear on all U.S. currency? (192 characters)
- I prefer ALT3, but ALT1 and ALT2 are also good. Good to go.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 16:10, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
