Attention Kildarians, regarding a surfeit of mangos

Kildare is far too active and is making the rest of us look bad. Every time I log on I see the Kildare and its subforums stuffed with new-post mangos. There are only so many mangos I can eat at once before running to the toilet, so please be considerate and look into producing your mangos at a more sustainable and less fellow-duchy-humiliating level.

Item of interest: mangos beats mangoes convincingly on Googlefight, even though use of the former spelling sends jolts of nausea through me.

That is all, thank you.

Atterock echoes the Ducal sentiments.

No, really. They will pay the Kildarian game as punishment! :demon

Ah well, there's no helping some people. When Kildare was stagnating until .... oh, two weeks ago, I still posted in Brookshire and Yardistan. Some people are just jealous of our good fortune.

Thank you, Dutch.

Back to the controversy over the spelling of mangos: This is a fruit which grows in abundance in the Central and South American Spanish-speaking countries. It is logical to spell the plural of mango in the Spanish manner, as most of us in California do already. Of course, the fact that our state's population happens to be over 38 % Hispanic has nothing at all to do with it...... :D

Andreas, having never visited down under, I was not even aware the mango grew there, though I should have assumed it could, since the climate seems hospitable for it. Thanks.

By the way, it is at present just after 1:30 AM here in California, on a Monday morning. What time is it there? And does one cross the International Dateline when one calculates calendar dates there?

Quickly Andreas, we must win the civil war before the end of the two weeks!

We could, but I think I'll just play out this battle and call a truce ...
