In my estimation, this kind of thing is becoming so common that it's far
too late for me to concern myself with finishing that paper on "exotic"
languages in which this kind of thing commonly occurs. It's simply become
too ordinary in English for anyone to care anymore that it occurs in
certain dialects of Infernic spoken by the indigenous population of West
Hell and Jinnigawl.
