I am in receipt of the following, from Mr. Rudolpho Woodget, of Caledon Wellsian

[22:53] Rudolfo Woodget: A Cavor of steampunks, a bustle of duchesses, a prim of builders, a texture of designers,  a waistcoat of shopkeepers, a fury of tinies, a singularity of guv'nahs, a dream of sims, a Dewey of LIbrarians, a pint of pubs, a feather of fashion designers, a grandeur of void-sims, a flourish of towers, an epaulet of soldiers,  a static of broadcasters, a whimsy of storytellers, a mast of seamen,  a rash of nobiemen, a perfume of ladies, a modesty of  aristocrats, a chatter of citizens,  a pose of balls, a cog of trains, a clatter of trolleys:  a miracle of Caledons.

This, I believe, in response to a question arising on the Caledon State Channel concerning the collective noun for Caledonians....for which was first proposed "a gossip" and then "a scandal", but as neither met with universal approbation, no definite conclusion was reached.

I do rather think that, in any other Realm, Mr Woodget should have had the last word. Caledon being Caledon, however, I suspect this will merely be the opening volley...but Bravo, Mr. Woodget, well done, Sir!

Gentlebeings, your servant
