Espresso Addict, this one looks fun. - Dank (push to talk) 15:25, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Going out now, but will have a go later today. Espresso Addict (talk) 15:41, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've deliberately double-linked Orkney, to avoid confusion over the adjective. As a newly minted Scottish islander, I think we should avoid using the potentially offensive word "simple" and also "stream" (the Scots use "burn" exclusively). Espresso Addict (talk) 21:50, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Excellent. I completely agree. We might get some pushback for "with ... being said" (although I have no problem with it), so I reworded. Thanks so much. - Dank (push to talk) 22:53, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- I prefer the "with...being said" construction, myself, because it expands on the earlier "held responsible for droughts and epidemics" rather than adding a unrelated point. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 23:46, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
