Walking between them too closely can have far-reaching effects Hey, you got Angle in my Saxon! Well you got Saxon in my Angle! Hmmm, tastes great! Wanna go slay some Romano-Celts? ---

I don’t believe in angles myself. At the quantum level, everything is discrete. So, angles are only an illusion on the macro scale. ---

I wasn’t going to laugh at this thread, but then I did, on reflex. Incidentally, if an Anglophone is someone who speaks the language of the Angles, what does that make someone who speaks the language of the Saxons? 😕 ---
