here! 
O.K., I've voted for it. I don't get what it refers to (and don't want to read the spoiler), but it seems like it's probably a good pun and Ali is impressed by it, so I'll take it on trust. |

Air's review is a masterful pun! I'm glad you didn't explain it . . . makes me feel so damn clever that I understand it!
I assume that the "Boa" is "Boer", but what is the "air" a pun on? 
Okay, this is really embarrassing . . . I'm a huge fan of Air, but the pun I was referring to was actually Whip's!!!  |

Back from FYC break with five more Hamlets...
Just in case you want to know:
John Gielgud directed and played the ghost opposite Richard Burton
Michael Caine played Horatio opposite Christopher Plummer
Richard Chamberlain is best known for playing Dr Kildare
Helen Mirren played Ophelia and Gertrude in her film version.
This is all tied in to a new Hamlet accolade, by the way. |

Cheers Ali - I wasn't sure if it would work or not, I thought it might just read as a very dull review! |

Loved all your Hamlets nearly as much as I loved the play.
A great round so far, a very high standard, well done all. |

sinh stands for the mathematical function hyperbolic sine and is often pronounced "shine".
One of the reviews follows from these.
I have to say I've never heard sinh pronounced "shine." Everyone I know pronounces it "cinch." Is this a regional thing? |

It was always called "shine" when I was at school and university. However, before posting, I checked that it were reasonably general and it is. I did, though, know of the alternative pronunciations "sinch" and even "sink", but they are not as good. Wikipedia cites "shine" before "sinch", for example. |

Creo is not Latin for "I think". That's (C)ogito, and "I think therefore I am" is thus "Cogito Ergo Sum."
Creo is Latin for "I create"; and the latter word is derived, not that surprisingly, from the former.
Yo creo que si tambien.
Credo is I believe. (I believe it is anyway I'm Catholic but no Latin scholar as latin was gone before I was born) |
