It's a deal- so who gets the money from these fines....?

...And who enforces these highly compelling, reasonable standards? I vote for a fair-sized percentage to go to us, the lawmakers, and some of it should go to the people in the etymology field, as I imagine that one does not get compensated for such tedious research :)

Hm...good question.

I like your suggestions. Let's see...

All proceeds from the "y" fines go to all the underpaid etymologists out there...
All proceeds from the "sh-qu" fines go to you...
All proceeds from the initials fines go to those poor children to pay for their therapy...
All proceeds from the "donkeyable" fines go to me...

That sound reasonable to everyone? :)

Sounds good to me. But "The Godfather" (Mike C) is going to expect his percentage from everyone's cut, you realize...

Mike C would be classified as an underpaid etymologist...

so he doesn't get any additonal percentage. Sorry Mike!

The correct word would be 'unpaid' :P

Ah, yes. Or maybe $1000 fines for every girl named Mackenzie...

I don't know why, but I intensely dislike that name. Mackenzophobic, that's me.
