Templer, no,
Bolivar, Bolivia. I expect the prize to be a three week's trip to Bolivia.

Not that shoddy tsuwm prize again that I got for Simon
the Stylite.

The A in USA is eponymic. As is the Saud in Saudi Arabia.

The A in USA is eponymic. As is the Saud in Saudi Arabia. I don't think a letter can be an eponym can it? Doesn't it have to be a word? America is an eponym, as is Africa, but not 'A' (I think)?

Hello, The Pook. I think with all that blood rushing to your head, what with you hanging upside down off the bottom of the earth, has interefered with your thought process. Maybe you don't realize that USA is United States of America. It's just a lot easier to type. It's, like, synecdoche.
And his name wasn't Simon, it was Simón.

How excellent! I nearly replied to him saying it was synecdoche but decided my English was not strong enough to tell a native speaker something about his own language. Now I know I was right. Thank you.

yeah g'day I think with all that blood rushing to your head, what with you hanging upside down off the bottom of the earth, has interefered with your thought process. Maybe you don't realize that USA is United States of America. It's just a lot easier to type. I know, it was, like, deliberate ironic pedantry.  You should know by now that anything you say around here can and will be taken down literally and used against you...  And his name wasn't Simon, it was Simón. yeah, but sometimes I just can't be bothered finding all those bothersome little accents. Wow, you're even more pedantic than I!
