-*on* not *upon* BTW

-It doesn't scan? Good grief - you're right! Thankfully, that's no concern of mine - it's a quote -
-:"I met a traveller from an antique land, who said:
-:Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
-:Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
-:Half sunk, a shattered visage lies,
-:Whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
-:Tell that the sculptor well those passions read
-:Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things...
-:The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
-:And on the pedestal these words appear:
-:"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
-:Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
-:Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
-:Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
-:The lone and level sands stretch far away."
-:-- [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]], "Ozymandias"

-:: <i>Look <b>on</b> my works, ye Mighty,</i>
-:: Quote? Quite!
-What source are you looking at?[[User:Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!|Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
-: the one you just posted, for a start.
-:) Interesting, I'd never seen that version before, I copied it from the first google site I found without even noticing - the version I have always seen, and the paper version I have reads 'upon'. I wonder what's going on there?[[User:Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!|Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!]] 09:14, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
-:: Ive only ever seen *on*, *upon* would have 11 syllables, and every other line has 10. the [[Ozymandias]] article also quotes *on*.
-Fascinating.[[User:Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!|Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!]] 09:20, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

-Jokes don't really belong in articles.  If you keep that up ("sun-spectacles"), you'll just get yourself blocked, maybe by me.  [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] 09:29, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC)
-: I have seen *sun-spectacles* for sale at my local optician. Proffessionals use this term to define a particular type of spectacle. It wasnt a joke.
-: e.g. see [http://www.jarvisoptometrist.co.uk/specs.htm], an opticians website that uses this term. [[User:207.44.154.35|207.44.154.35]]
-That's laughable.
-Google for "sun-spectacles" is 87 hits.  "Sunglasses" has 3,310,000 hits, many more than 87 in the UK as well.  [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] 09:43, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC)
-:google searches dont prove much. Do you deny that I.O.Jarvis, Professional Optometrist, uses the term sun spectacles? You would put your trust in people like that if you suffered from eye problems, so why dont you accept their terminology? [http://www.matheson-optometrists.com/leisure%20specs.htm] is another optician's website using this correct term.

-Two things: one is that I request you get a user account...it's much easier to leave comments for you when I always know I'm talking to the same person.  The second is a question: why did you change QEII back to "Her Majesty"?  The community had agreed to remove the title.  If you have an issue with this, don't start an edit war...leave a note on the article's talk page, please.  Thank you.  [[User:Jwrosenzweig|Jwrosenzweig]] 00:46, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
-: One, cookies arent working on this PC so I cannot get a use account Im afraid.
-: Two, in the same article Marget Thatcher is quoted as saying "they are quietly businesslike and Her Majesty brings to bear a formidable grasp of current issues...". Using <i>Her Majesty</i> in this way is the correct form of both address and reference. It is conventional, and not PoV as another user seems to think. Its the same principal as not refering to people as "it", a matter of convention and the correct terms to use. [[User:207.44.154.35|207.44.154.35]]
