For years I complained that the distributing syndicate Americanized
the Alex Graham comic strip "Fred Basset". Be careful what you wish
for.
The first frame today has Fred thinking, "This Jenson chap ..."
In the second frame, Fred closes this thought, "... is really on the
Button!" as he sits beside his smiling television-watching master.
The television is saying, "... another cracking lap..."
Who's who and what's going on?

I decry the textmessagization of the American-English language.
