Ceremonial Soup: sandwiched between ix and ox

I make no guarantees with respect to the quality of this post.

Debstar said...: I was going to say ix is nine, right? Then I decided to check it up in case I sounded stupid and dictionary.com told me it was, "the cardinal number that is the sum of eight and one". So that's nine right?

Anyway, sandwiched between the number nine and an animal that vaguely resembles a cow really doesn't make sense.

As for the quality of your post, as usual it is grammatically correct which is something that my blog sorely lacks. Would you put a semi colon after the word post in the sentence before this one?; 23 December, 2011 01:48

Deb: IX, is, indeed the Roman numeral equivalent of the number nine. 'ix', on the other hand, is less certainly so.

I do not believe that post titles have 'making sense' as a requirement.

To answer your question concerning the semi-colon: indeed that would have been an appropriate place to put one.; 23 December, 2011 08:17
