#1 "States such as New Jersey, where a lot of people use bad language, were found to rank highly on the State Integrity Index, whereas Utah and other places where bad language is a relative rarity saw higher levels of fraud similar offences."

New Jersey don't have no corruption???? WTF, we INVENTED corruption!!!!

#2 Fraud in Utah is more common because Mormons tend to be more trusting and therefore more easily conned. Doesn't mean Utah residents are more dishonest or devious.

#5 You know I adore you, gorb. But this is an area I know something about (scientific research in general, psych experiments more specifically) and you did address me by name. Names are magic -- everyone knows that.

#7 :-). Which is the real one, g(r)omgoru: my English name (which carries the shadow of the grandmother I was named for; she had names in three languages, all different than the English one I was given -- we share a nickname), my Hebrew name, the name my Spanish teacher gave me, any of the various nicknames and endearments different people address me with, or my Rantburg nym?

#8 I was only making fun, but - in cultures that believe in "name magic", children get a secret name distinct from their public one.

#10 Of course, I kinda suspected a response along those lines, and I figured sacrificing my eyebrows would be worth whatever you would do with it. :-)

#11 I find it difficult to make complicated sentences because I had a public school education, of which, my parents had choices, but, since they grew up in the mountains of Kentucky, felt, if it was good enough for them, it was good enough for me.
