Proposal: Same same

Reached quorum 8 to 0. Enacted by Derrick

Adminned at 19 Mar 2017 13:03:56 UTC

Enact a new rule titled “Synonyms”, containing the following text:

“Miconium” and “Micronium” are synonymous.

Let’s just list them all in here.
I was going to propose that spellings of parts of the creature etc should be treated as synonymous as long as they are clearly recognisable but let’s burn that can of worms while the iron is hot, and not throw the bathwater out before we counted the babies.

Salad is a subset of science. Scientific theory applies to salad and may be described with salad but there are limits. I tried so you don’t have to.
